Why do people have a hang up about dealers marking up an item after a sale, the true value of any machine may or may not be on the day of a sale,
Values are a perception of the buyer,
Said dealer however close, was prepared to put his money where his mouth was, pay for it on the day, transport item, clean it up, and offer it for sale probably with some warranty, 25% to 30% increase in value is about correct,
What about all the stock and items that looked good on the day but still sit in the yard,
Where do you think second hand dealers equipment comes from. A trade in from main dealer or an auction makes no difference.

Why revealing, any dealer needs to make a profit of they are doomed, its having the balls on the day, making a split second decision, anyone can bid at a sale,
Have seen a High profile Yorkshire dealer bid £80k 3 days in a row, now that's either, stupid, clever or indifferent, but as he tells me you can't sell from an empty shop,
Bloody good luck to him, risk has to have reward.

they also have to be prepared to buy a load of trouble, do that job long enough and you will

Tell me about it, I don't try and compete with the big boys, but I have items, that have either gone out of fashion, bought wrong or were bought in without viewing, on trust.
Can't win them all.
Onwards and upwards.

Buyer had to pay buyers prem on that 10k don't forget!
Even thou that digger has 10k hours as long as the tracks are okay then it was a very cheap machine at the sale!

Maybe but its the vendors that will end up losing out in the long term if they start playing games like that!

Sales are a conundrum, everyone who attends says, Hope they have a good sale. Then tries to buy a bargain,
They are a punt in the dark, the same sale two weeks apart. Would have totally different outcome. Too many factors Come to play.

They might charge them but get a brown envelope back.
