Ritchie Bros ... buggers

[fcr]

Today I bought three lots of used combine parts from Ritchie auction ,each lot under $300. They then charged me pst on the all the lots combined. So I call Sask finance and they tell me that farmers are exempt just like if the parts were bought new. Also the first $300 on any used item in Sask is pst exempt. So I call ritchies and the girl tell me they don’t know what’s a farm part or who is a farmer so there is a form to fill out to be exempt O.K. Fine. But they still should not be charging pst on any item under $ 300. I really question whether they ever send this illegal pst charge to the govt.

while there is much to dislike about rb the pst is not really one of them. just tell the cashier its for farm use and fill out the exemption form and they don't charge it. There is schedule for what is considered farm use. As for remitting the pst to the governemt...if its on the bill of sale you bet its getting remitted to the province.

Hilarious.....keep charging all of these ridiculous fees and the online bidding is crashing. I wouldn't be happy if I was selling.

I don’t bid on rb so what’s the deal with it crashing?

I was on another auction website earlier this week. Someone was going to bid 14,600 for an item when they must have been in a rush. Came up at 1,460,000. It was fixed in a few minutes.

But I bet there was a pucker in somebody's butt waiting for an answer from the Auctioneer.
