Auctions, what have you found/bought/what are you watching for

[paulsharvey]

Couple things I'll be keeping an eye on next auction. I did log into one last weekend, and it didn't really have a single item I was serious about. This one, couple SSQA forks, if they go cheap; a Buick LaSabre, and some others stuff mostly out of curiosity.

The LaSabre sounds like a joke, but I'll give my thought, I wouldn't be shocked if it went Extremely low; there is absolutely nothing "cool" about it.

The GMC Canyon is kinda a grand pa looking truck, 3.5L, 2wd,

The spreader is frankly, if i can luck out again, and get it extremely low, I can keep the better (or the worse?) and sell the other, and maybe make a few bucks.

The Charger... it's the state trooper 5.7L AWD i think I mentioned somewhere above. It's pretty rough

Is nobody going to point out that daisywheel printer? With carbon paper!

I'd buy THAT at an auction. I can just hear that old girl printing.

Memories. . .

We still often get asphalt tickets, rock tickets, ect like this. There are normally 3 tickets; white, pink, and yellow. One for the contractor, one for the inspector, and 1 for QC guy.

Didn't win anything today, and really didn't bid to win. Threw some money at a 6 ft bush hog, but I tapped out.

I did notice an interesting trend. Mahindra tractor, 4110, with loader and all, sold for $4,000, sure it had 2000 hours; but that seemed like a heck of deal, compared to the Deere/Kubotas of similar size/age/hours, going at $15k.

There was NH Workmaster 50, no loader, 18.5 hours, that sold for $8,750. Seemed like it had a semi high clearance set up, maybe strawberry fields? IDK
