Thanks Warp Land Farmer and Chrisw - good to hear!

Hello green giant, We're seeing pretty good responses to machines listed (around 4,500 listings at the moment). There are roughly 100,000 page views from 10,000 unique visitors each month and that's been growing month on month since we introduced the classifieds section at the Highland show...

Or try farmkit.com! http://farmkit.com/ Ads are usually £1 a day for private sellers but give me a ring and I'll stick your kit on for a couple of weeks gratis. If you deal a bit of kit then you can get up to 25 ads for £30 a month - £180 for 6 months' ads - and if you deal a lot of kit then...

Two more scammers picked up trying to submit lots into this week's farmkit.com auction: Using names "Danny Jones" and "Anthony Pascuale" trying to submit Massey 7485 and Massey 583 Looks like they lifted the ads from ebay and Farmers Weekly (though these might be fake ads as well...)...

Hi Monty, A lot of it is dealer stock currently so tends to be in fairly good nick. We are "relaunching" the site towards the end of the month with classifieds as well as the weekly auctions and plan to have a "Spares and repairs" category as well as "Parts" in the classifieds. Basically looking...

Must be hell parking that in London...

Same tractor / same scammer (this time calling himself marleylodg.e197) : http://agriculture.vivastreet.co.uk/machinery+wembley-ha0/2003-john-deere-tractor-7530/72171140 The year of the tractor has changed again though!

Not ebay again but scammers at work elsewhere: [email protected] tried to put a 2011 John Deere 7530 (reg AY11 AZT) in to next week's farmkit.com auction with a reserve of £18,000 (!). We rejected it from the auction at our approvals stage but then found the same tractor on Farm Trader...

Not sure who ebay user one-eyed.jack is - some kind of online vigilante? Is this in itself some sort of scam? Who knows... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Zetor-tractor/111072885190?ssPageName=WDVW&rd=1&ih=001&category=47103&cmd=ViewItem...

Interesting bit on ebay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Case-tractor-/111070386604?pt=UK_BOI_FarmingEquipment_RL&hash=item19dc4f99ac

Lots of scammers out there - more advice, this time from farmingads.co.uk: http://www.farmingads.co.uk/slpage.php?page=38 We have an approvals process for our auctions so no lots are submitted without us having a good look at them first - this will extend to our classified ads which we are...

Agree with all above - had a conversation with a dealer the other day who said exactly what Steevo has advised which surprised me a bit - however obviously not ideal for you at this time of year. Maybe try it on farmkit.com in one of our weekly auctions - we have almost a 1000 registered users...

We have a 5455 with loader at auction this week - www.farmkit.com This week's auction ends at 7 pm tomorrow. http://farmkit.com/auctionlot/show/1027/massey-ferguson-5455-tractor If it doesn't go through the auction feel free to phone me and I'll pass on your details to the seller. Cheers, Will...

Not specific to ebay but good general advice from Farmers Guardian on how to avoid being scammed when dealing with people you don't know personally: http://www.farmersguardian.com/classifieds-and-directories/scam-updates/

Cheers greatingrass! I'll have to sort my exit visa for Derbyshire first - they don't like us roaming too far! :)

Hi Penmoel - I saw the deadline for stand bookings on the RWAS website and thought the same but I spoke to Simon Gittoes (deals with bookings) the day before yesterday and he seemed to think we would be ok. The thing is we only need a small stand as its just a focal point for talking to people...

Thanks greatingrass - a few people have suggested the royal cornwall - I've got the 6th 7th and 8th June in the diary now! I usually go camping in Devon / Cornwall in the summer so good idea to combine the two - I best let Mrs Farmkit know! Cheers, Will

:) Cheers Fonterra - I'll speak to the boss about the farmkit.com World Tour!

Cheers, Loadshead, looks like a good option and not too far from us - stand costs look reasonable too. Like you say the weather will make it but I think we're due a summer this year aren't we???

Hello, Planning ahead for the rest of the year and would appreciate advice on best ag shows to visit around the country. I manage farmkit.com (online machinery auction site) and am keen to get to "proper" ag shows with machinery dealer presence over the course of the year and speak to farmers...
