[MarshallDillon]

Wanted to go but 800 bucks for the flight. Needed a cheap high clearance sprayer. Please say they didn't give them away!

Results online tomorrow. Fair value.

fair value? not if you compare buying something off the lot lately. 120(some) combines in one day, in December, 8 months from being usable. Why would anyone buy from a dealer anymore?

[HappyFarmer]

Are there big problems with stuff at that auction or are dealers just randomly picking stuff they want off there lot? I have heard horror stories on SOME stuff bought a those big auctions. Friend of mine bought a 9682 for 30 k a few years ago only to bring it home and find out it need a 40 k trany job.

Does Ritchie charge a buyers fee?

[furrowtickler]

Alot of the big newer stuff is just roll outs from dealers. JD and case/ih are duking it out now for big deals and dumping the trades into Richies. The older stuff 3-4 years and older is mainly high dealer inventory from the past three years of strong new sales. And yes there is definitely some buyer beware stuff.
Those 9090's sold for $100,000 cheaper than lot prices. It was a good place to buy if you were lookin.

I was surprises by that to furrow.
Betch they guy who bought the first was pissed off. Case combines i though were high.

[furrowtickler]

I know the guy that bought the first one.. Ya, a little disapointed, lol, but he still got a good deal.

[HappyFarmer]
