First point of how I will bid is . I never start the bidding. I always wait until the first and second bidders have wore themselves out, and one is starting to hesitate. Then , if I still want the item, and think it is worth the money I will bid. If they where going up by $50.00 bids , I will bid $100.00 higher. Usually The bidder who thought he had the piece bought will bid again. I will then up his bid by twice what he just upped my bid. Some times the other guy will get mad and bid again. Now the equipment could be going for more than it is worth, and I will let him have it. But if the price is still good ,on we go.I have jumped the bid by $500.00 when the last two guys were raising each other $50.00, had the other guy bid another $50.00 , and left him with it. Auctions can be fun!
Second point, if I know what a piece of equipment is worth, and it is good , and I am going to buy one anyway. Why waste more time going around to more sales looking for a deal ,or fooling with dealers. Just pay a bit more than the other guy and be done with it. I have more to do than run to sales standing around all day and not buying anything. I leave that for the dealers/old guys and hobby farmers.While there can be some fun, this is business for me, and I treat it as such. Bruce

Today's Featured Article - Women and Tractors - Tractor Engine Repair - by Teri Burkholder. One of the great things about working on a tractor engine with your other half is that you know what he is thinking of at all times and can anticipate his every move and his next thought of what he will do. With Ben, anyway, I can tell! He'll be busy working and I’m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I’ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I’ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see. "Run in the house and get me a...."as I open th ... [Read Article]
