Americans no show at early auctions

In regards to your story Klause, that cx combine might have been the same one that combine world had for sale. Just after that sale combine world had one with similiar hours for sale so just putting two and two together. I am also leary of the internet bidding but have also bought online so I know sometimes the internet is on. Like everyone else said, just make sure you have not over spent and you will be fine.

Hey Klause, what did the 8080 bring at the Saskatoon sale?

From a buyers prospective, I've never been comfortable bidding against the anonymous internet bidder. The auctioneer telling you that the tractor or combine is going to TimBuckToo is too little information. At the very least, a name or company should be attached to the sale.

Would it reasonable to have a screen displaying those names that are bidding from the internet? The technology is out there to do something like that.

Selling that combine for $28,000. would also hurt the Auction House. How often does the auction house bid against you to preserve prices and a higher market place for all items. Are there any rules/laws that prevent an auction house from bidding, buying and reselling any given item(that from their experience), would be considered to low of a sale, just like a $28,000. combine would be?
Other than ethics of course? You know,,,there's no reserve!!!

Klause. I am going to research that. If that is true I am going to dig in and see if I can request bidder information. It has been my experience as well.

I looked up the Ritchie history and the combine at Abbey sold for 99000.00. There were no 8080's at the August Saskatoon sale that matched hours or serial numbers. And another thing ive been to a few auctions and never seen a starting bid of $28000, seem pretty random

Simpleton, where did you pop out of, Edmonton?

Privacy, my A! At a real in-person auction, where is the privacy? You'd have to wear a sack over your head. There S/B a declaration that all information is public so that transparency and integrity of on-line bidding is legite and proveable. Furthermore, there should be legal onus for all on-line auctions to show the buyers and sellers and price.
Just saying - If I call an ad and someone says they bought from Company A a year ago and paid so much I ask him if has the bill, because it could be 7 years old. If he didn't keep the bill - CLICK.

Simpleton , it sounds like you will be a perfect fit with the majority. Welcome to Agriville.

How about biding on line from the auction site?
Always remember you only need the last bid.

Was watching one of those RB auction shows on tv one night and they said that the pitchmen will bid on items if they feel there are to low and then turn around and move that piece to the next sale. If they feel they can make some money they are allowed to do it. I don't agree with that. The auction people should not be allowed to bid against public bidders.
