How do I find attachments at auctions?

[ishiboo]

We have a local guy who sells a ton of attachments cheap he picks up from auctions. 72" rock buckets for $550, 68" tooth buckets for $650, etc. They're all picked up at auctions. Unfortunately right now he's out of everything I need. Other sellers also pick up a lot of attachments (especially Versatech) at auctions for dirt cheap.

Whenever I search for attachments, I MIGHT find one every 10 auctions, and it'll usually go for 10x what it's worth. How do people find these? There must be a secret...

Here's a website one of my local auction companies uses.

Just a heads up on a lot of auctions...there are additional costs a lot of times above the winning bid price...the totals of some of those costs can reach close to 20% depending on payment methods and sales taxes etc...

Your guy might also be using Craigslist. Best way to use that is SearchTempest Online Classifieds Search - All the Classifieds. One Search. Then you don't hafta search each city separately, just add a mileage you are willing to travel and it'll search a circle around your location.

Thanks guys. Richie and Proxibid look great but nothing ever near me I've seen. I'll keep an eye on both as they do have a ton of stuff!

Nothing gets by me on Craigslist... I have a notifier script that sends me a text whenever an item comes up I'm interested in Unfortunately I was out of town when the rock buckets came up. I buy just about EVERYTHING on Craigslist.

Keep 'em coming!
