The auction was in Sharon Springs, NY. I was there with John. Some of the prices were good, but every time I wanted something it went high! Except for a John Deere backblade, which I thought I had for $150, and then the auctioner claimed I bid $200 (I didn't). I was so po'ed that I wouldn't take it, but looking back I should have. John almost hit me when I let that go, but I don't like it when it seems that they're jacking up the price. I could have been wrong, but you only have a second to react, and it took me more than that to calm down.

I missed this one, but do attend about every other one. Jim McFadden's as honest as the day is long. I've seen some very good deals. I picked up a 7" Leinbach rake for $150 at his summer auction, he used it once, level the road thru the auction site.

Jim has at least 3 auction/yr, spring/summer and fall.

So where do you find out about these auctions? Can anyone go to them?

RichZ · Dec 11, 2001

I think it was just the confusion of a fast bid, but at the moment I thought I was being set up, but looking back I probably wasn't and missed a good deal. I've been going to auctions for years, and sometimes it can get confusing when everyone is shouting at once, and the auctioner is trying to go as quickly as he can. It was my fault, and I'm paying the price by being bladeless now!

John, according to the inlaws, you have to be beyond the Albany area to call it upstate. They're in Chazy (near Plattsburgh). Personally, unless it's summertime (Jul and Aug) it's all too far north. Does sound like we missed out on some reasonable deals though.

...you have to be beyond the Albany area to call it upstate...

Nah... I thought if you live at least 1 mile north of NYC area... it was considered Upstate... /w3tcompact/icons/blush.gif
