Ritchie Bros ... buggers

[blackpowder]

So today i am bidding on an item that myself and one other bidder are going back and forth on.An hour before closing he quites bidding. With less than 5 minutes left 9 differant bidders came on to bid me up all only bidding once. Seemed a bit odd to me,I did not end up buying the item, phoned a dealer and will have one in my yard in four days for the same price. However some of the combines and large air drills did sell very reasonable.

Exactly. 2 minute bidding extension with new bidders. Retail established.
Call dealer after the auction. New world.

Didn't 1/2 the bidders call the dealer beforehand to get a quote.

Is there really any point bidding until a couple minutes before closing?

That's when the action happens.

Only the last bid means anything?

Point being I've been buying from dealer after the auction anyway.

I wonder when the buyer will find out.

Apparently RB contacted the buyer after finding out about this tractor, consignor out of Texas apparently did some creative refurbishing....tractor will be resold at next Rouleau sale.

is this that jd 8870 with the low hours?
i went to look at it and it seemed ok..a few leaks new turbo good interior and some new tires. went for more than wht a 31 year old tractor should go for i thought. plus ad on 4000k in buyers fees and delivery if needed.

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.
