Just keep trying - that is half the fun! I've missed out as many times as anyone, but: I was at a sale one time after a JD two-cylinder -there were about 5 JD tractors in a row - but they went sky-high... But the crowd seemed to disburse a little after they sold, so I waited for a "funny looking" little tractor I wasn't famililar with that sold a few hours later... Wound up bringing home a super nice little Allis Chalmer's U with round spoke rears for $50 - I guess no one noticed it since everyone was focused on the JD's. A few months ago I was at a sale more out of respect for the family than anything else - lo and behold, the auctioneer dragged a 1938 Ford pickup out of the barn with the 85 horsepower V-8 in it. Only one tire was even flat - it has 40,000 miles on it and I found an oil change receipt in the cab dated 1953 showing 21,000 miles at that point - I got it for $500. The auctioneer hadn't even listed it on the sale bill... You just never know at an auction... Howard
