On another note how many farmers have agreed to buy a block of land and split it with there neibgours and don't bid against one another , what's the difference to the farm sale crew
I suppose it would be similar if the tractor's engine went to one, the gearbox to another and the cab to a third. Otherwise it is not the same at all.

To be fair, the keys family who own euro auctions are MASSIVE. Old Billy Keys used to buy a farm after every auction. A very astute screwed on family,
In comparison the other dealers mentioned just peddle old knackered shite from one auction to the next, until they're banned. Or just lie about stuff. Whereas the euro auctions shite is there for you to start and try for yourself. The amount of times i've watched farmers buy diggers at auctions that they've not started or even know what they're looking at is unreal. Euro auctions is where trade stuff sells at retail prices, every knob that want a digger goes there and buys one, blissfully unaware of what they're buying, or how much its worth! I went from buying 2 artic loads at every sale, to not bothering to go at all
Good post that.
 

How much

I've bought a bit if stuff from euro auctions and i think its highly unlikely they are going to run them up or buy them back
There will be plenty of bidders the crowd there come from all of Europe and beyond, a few end users will be put off by the complication of finance if you wanted to buy for yourself as not that many many high values recent used tractors are bought with cash these days .
there is a chance that there will be a lemon among them but no more so than any other sale , you have to factir that in to your price.
these will be sold in batches not individually , so they offer say 5 similar models if your the winning bidder on a batch that batch you can take them all or which of them you want. If your the under bidder you usually get the chance of your pick after the winning bidder has had his pick , but at the winning price .If your not bidding you don't get that chance so listen to what the auctioneer says and be bidding on no 1 if your after no 3
You can turn down that chance and they will run them again , quite frequently they go up in price not down .

Anther tip is if your go you can pay your buyers registration deposit by debit card that save taking a load of cash if you bidding on the internet register tomorrow not on sale day as it takes a day to set it up

I have no problem with the dealers buying or making a profit off anything at auction but i do think its wrong that the poor chap having the displenishing sale gets a crap price because all the dealers have got there heads together and have a knock at the end of the sale rather than bidding, ultimately sharing the proceeds that should have went to the seller,don't kid yourself that the majority of these machines will be sold with any kind of warranty just because a dealer is then selling it,put yourself in the sellers position seeing your asset sold for a poor price but before it leaves your farm a few dealers have had £6-7k out of it for doing nothing,if the dealer was willing to pay 20k why not bid to that in the sale.
They didn't bid 20k because it didn't get to that price.......that's how auctions work !........if the vendor doesn't like the prices.. he should have set a higher reserve......or he can not have an auction and sell it privately.....dealers making a profit is called business

Known as "knock" up here,local auction before xmas there was an mf sold for just over £13k,apparently it was costing over £20k when it left the field!Totally disagree with this practice and i think it should be the seller that gets the price not some weasly dealer that is only there to get a couple hundred quid out of it with no intention of buying the machine.

We sold a genuine hour valtra a few years ago in a despersal sale when moving farms, lots of dealers came and looked the day befor, stupidly with all the stress of sorting out the cows to be sold on the same day I totally forgot about reserves. I just managed to get towards the crowd as the hammer went down, very cheep tractor for someone. Beside me I herd two well known dealers in my area say to each other that the tractors earnt me £200 without getting my cheque book out, many rumours in market how several back handlers went on to keep bidders away, and even possibility of auctioneer involvement. Dint realise how corrupt it can be. Shame there weren't too farmers after it!
This is very true & wide spread at farm sales

Well I was not really thinking of breaking the tractor for parts , the earlier posts were pointing out the seller did not get all the value of his machines when sold , which is the same as people getting together to buy land and not bidding against one another

Having almost certainly driven some of these tractors some are good some are nightmares! Some of them will and some of them won't have been serviced by c&o, some would of had a descent operator some would of had a formula 1 wannabe driving them! It's the risk you take but a bargain could certainly be had. Trouble is they clean up well but could be hiding trouble. I'm sure C&O would give you details of any work done if interested in one prior to the sale. Later registered tractors would have seen a better quality of service on them.

Point is it did get to 20k before it left the farm,dealers mate's kept there hands in there pockets until it was sold then put there hands out for there share,I think you will find most displenishing sales do not have reserves,if the dealers are willing to knock it to £20k fecking bid for it in the sale,end of.

So as I understand it......the non dealers backed out at 13k and the dealer bought it........then that dealer sold it to someone on the field for 20k.... who was obviously happy to pay that?... that same person if he wanted could have paid between 13 and 20k and beat the dealer?........as previously stated probably didn't have the cash to buy at the auction... and wanted a bit of credit... off the dealer ?.... blimey its a tough old world... but try going to Tesco... filling the trolley and saying you'll pay some time later... you'll go hungry
... and as for dispersal sales not having reserves... the vendors can put a reserve if they want... or if they don't it makes what it makes... no point bitching afterwards !
