Unbelievable ???

as in... it looks like a junk yard vs. a farm OR that the farm is "retired"... maybe 30 years ago. How far is the scrape yard... (or is this it?)

Wow - if someone has the time, looks like some great projects in there!
I agree with Teg - been sitting for many many years.

I think the prices will be right!

Been a while since I've been to an auction with 'right' prices. It's like a swarm every time...one recently unloaded (har har) a guy's collection of over 80 firearms. What a circus.

You might very well be right. Seems like everyone has jumped on the "auction bandwagon", looking for that great deal. I've noticed prices (bids) going much higher in the auctions I've followed in the last several years.
But, I think with the condition of most of the stuff in this particular auction, the prices will be quite reasonable....I'd like to be a fly on the wall to see!

This guy never threw anything out and never traded anything in.

I'm not sure I understand the "unbelievable" part?

I don't know, looks like some neat stuff. Lots of good projects.
Probably what he thought too.

You never know about auctions. Had a dairy farmer go sell out and auctioned everything off. Stuff went cheap. For instance, he had a Case 95hp w/cab and fel. about 700hrs, 2 to 3 yrs old. $18,000.00 It was in good shape too. Rather depressing for the estate.
