Ukrainetz auctions if you are looking for a 1070 Case tractor, Massey 760, 3 ton grain truck and cockshutt cultivator.

Once in a while they have surprisingly modern items. But yeah, they are the guys who take on auctions that aren’t worth it for other outfits.

What I do like about online auctions is the ability to put in a stink bid on something that I only want if the price is right, but don't need. I wouldn't drive halfway across the prairies expecting something to be dirt cheap, and the auctioneers laugh at me if I try to put in a proxy bit for really cheap, but I can do it online and most of them past harmlessly, but every once in awhile one succeeds and didn't require any effort.
Although once I put two stink bids on two different versions of the same item and forgot about them, and got them both and had to drag one back to another auction.

Anytime I went to an auction whatever I was after went for more than I thought it was worth.

And something that you didn't go to the auction for, and didn't need and hadn't looked at close went really cheap so if you're like me, you brought it home because it was too good of a deal to turn down, and 10 years later it's still sitting in the yard unused and unfixed.

Anytime I went to an auction whatever I was after went for more than I thought it was worth. Now with online I can bellyache from the comfort of my home. FWIW the amount of after sale support you get from auction purchases (taillight warranty) private sales off Facebook or Kijiji work just as well and save fees. Even in that realm Facebook marketplace is laying waste to Kijiji. I could tell many stories dealing with characters on Kijiji.

CaseIH 7240 with 3400 hrs sold in a Premier auction near Camrose last week for $140000. Would still been a better deal than the 5488 but not the same money. There still are some smaller auction companies in AB including Doug Johnson, Premier, Prodaniuk, and Dunkle Auctions.

Doug retiring, Premier assuming his clients. What I like about the above mentioned is that they only have quality home sales.

You could buy a magnum for that kind of money and have twice the tractor.

Didn't read the whole thread here and maybe has been asked but why doesn't anybody start a new auction service that does on farm live auctions anymore? Seems a lot don't like on line or Richie style so reinvent the wheel!

Must be a reason.
