Went to an auction today in West Bloomfield NY. Described by the auctioneer as an auction of a hoarders collection.Several old dump trucks,rollers,loaders, basket case tractors and pieces of equipment.Lots of the noncollectable stuff was bought up by several different scrap dealers.What was kinda weird was there was a whole line of collector tractors out in the yard that an hour before the auction suddenly had orange surveyors ribbon on them and were declared not for sale.Almost seems like they were out there to lure people in. Multiple times when asked if a piece of equipment ran the comment by the owner was "it ran the last time I used it, about 5 years ago ". The exception to this was the Mercedes car that he commented it ran 20 years ago.Another thing I noted was that the owner was actively bidding on any bigger ticket item that seemed to be going to sell low.I can only hope that the auctioneer was charging him the commission.Its kinda of discouraging to stand there for several hours waiting for a potential deal only to have to bid against the owner.What was kinda cool was the property had an airstrip and several small planes did fly in for the auction.Two experimental planes were up for bid but the owner was high bidder.Didnt stay around to see the tons of small stuff go.Another thing was no checks were allowed,credit card or cash only.Any comments?
