Was at a local auction, knew the family as a kid. Well,. the equipment had been sitting sicne '91. Any way, very poor prep for the auction, tractors were just pulled out of the shed, not cleaned up or even batteries put in to make sure they started. Well there was a Case 1070 with turbo, later model. 3000 hours, like new 20.0x38 rubber. Well, I was leary because she had been sitting so long with out being run or anything. I didnt bid on it, and it sold for $2300 as I was questioniong myself if I should jump in with $2400. Old gent bought it, bout 80 years old. Father in law says I should have bought it, batteries are cheap. I dont know. Hind site is hindsite, but I kind of wish I had bought it. The tires were worth close to that. Kind of a weird auction, auctioneer seemed to cut off bidding on items, and would say, thats enough for that item, was a real back and forth going on a irrigation hose real, all of a sudden auctioneer says sold, thats enough for that, just as the 2nd bidder was nodding to up the bid, this wasnt a waiting for bids item either, both guys wanted it and neither had hit their limit they intended to pay. Kinda sad, and frustrating. I think I messed up on that Case though.
