ive sold a couple of tractors in the cheffins vintage sale a few years back, at the time it cost about £150 just to enter it, so if you had a reserve and it didnt reach it to sell, your down £150, plus haulage costs? i wonder if these tractors that you see the same time and time again that dont sell rack up that cost, are they charged for storage to stay there for the next auction as well?

It would be a different rate to the dealers than the one off sales to you and me.

Don't think the main auctioneers in Aberdeenshire have any wish to go back to live sales.
They are managing to get better prices than ever, some folk seem to be keener to bid when their neighbours aren't watching them.
Also with a 4.5% buyers fee off the online buyers, and whatever off the seller, I reckon AN Marts are doing all right.

Cheffins use to hold a quarterly (think)sale at Washingpool Farm site, Bristol but sadly faided away for some reason - pity.☹

I completely agree; the brown and co timed auctions also gaining content and popularity thesedays. Cheaper for the auctioneer and more people can ‘attend’, better for the vendor if you don’t have to haul your items to a sale. I suspect there are some issues around non-payment though as the Cheffins deposit to bid online is now £1000…Don't think the main auctioneers in Aberdeenshire have any wish to go back to live sales.

That’s better than Euro auctions, 10 k deposit last week for the buildings sales,

That soon gets waived once they get to know you.
A friend runs a monthly collective auction, and loves the online method now. He can screen bidders on registration, and knowing the crowds of pikeys and general low-lifes poking about it used to attract on live auction days, I can fully understand his reluctance to go back to that.

If you had scrolled up on the deposit list it started at 1k. Though the 2% fee was unnecessary...
How do you go about getting it waived then? I've registered to bid (and bought items) from about 8 of the last 12 and have always had to pay the deposit to register to bid, seems built in to the online site if you ask me..

I’ve spoken to dealers who have to pay it. I think when you login to bid you don’t usually notice it’s happened unless your card details need updating as mine did this time.

Yes exactly, soon as you press the red "login to bid" button on the auction catalogue it automatically processes the deposit payment for me at least. Quite sneaky actually.. a few times like you say don't even notice.
Some times they email you about dispersal sales etc, and uses the same website so just auto click through the pages to view catalogue and yep.. deposit taken haha, "oh it's all junk" nevermind.. wait for deposit refund on Monday

After I registered some woman next day rang and asked me to place the 10k deposit to bid, I never even got to looking at deposit amounts, more interested in the buildings,

Ah right, in future just so you know, if you go to the main Euro auctions page. Log in. Go to menu, select "buying" click pay deposit, that goes to deposit page and you select the sale you want from the (worldwide) list, and select deposit from the list (1000 up to 20000). The amount of deposit sets your bidding limit.
Did you buy anything? We tried on a few of the smaller sheds.. but had to bail out.. steel prices

we didn’t, took 2 to last bid! Plus we had to factor in haulage from Devon to Cumbria, steels are expensiveAh right, in future just so you know, if you go to the main Euro auctions page. Log in.

I had a powershift 6910 - it was an excellent gearbox. I don’t understand what people’s beef is with it…
Would of come here ,if it was not for the clunky back end when brakes put on ,I know the chap who bought the 6810 and a nice (seemed cheap) 4255
does he know what is wrong with it
