I have gone thru auctions 3 times in the past 35 years, one time family took about everything from wifes grandparent. One was my grandparents, next 2 were my and my wifes parents. Always hard. So I cannot tell you what to do on that. What I will tell you is if auction at home, most are, or garage sale keep all appliances working so buyer can tell they are good. Same for TV, keep them hooked up and playing so they can see what they are like. If can see they are working they will sell for what they are worth but if unhooked unless buyers know things from earlier they will be considered non working by most and be bid on according. For my parents I had the TV just repaired (25 year ago) auctioneer would not let it be hooked up as I wanted but put it outside with other odds and ends, did not get repair bill out of it, if he would have just let it have been hooked up in the kitchen where it was used and playing it would have sold decently but set out like that buyers even tho told it had just been in repair shop thought it was junk. Even hand mixers or hair driers have a place they can be plugged in and tried by the lookers before being sold. Some auction houses will have so you can see things in operation and others will not and you will see it on what things bring. Also keep like items together. Just a couple of weeks ago owners set things up and had it so one item may have been a tool, next bedding, then glassware, then a piece of junk and bidders could not even see what was being sold. The way things were set up they lost a lot of money, trying to keep everything inside because of bad weather, if they had rented a large tent for things even with the rental costs and set out properly they would have made a lot more money. If the auctioneers do have to move things off property to sell they rent a fairgrounds building.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
