Last fall when my dad sold out,I was in the field helping the auctioneer with the equipment, and dad stayed up by the barn with the cows. I would walk along his truck, give a history on each piece as honest and frankly as I could, and I believe it helped bring up the value on some pieces. Some stuff sold much higher than I would have thought, while others went relatively cheap.
I bid up a few items also, just because they were going way too cheap. One item in particular was dad's tractor,a Massey 285. Could hardly draw any interest even though dad had quite a few calls in the days leading up to the auction to ask about it. It was set to be sold at around $3600 or so. I ran it up and got another $600 or $700 out of it, where I believe it was a fair price. I could have gotten stuck with it too.
