Better to take the stuff to an auction in dribs and drabs.
Putting everything for sale on one day puts you at the mercy of the weather and what other things buyers might have to do that day.

Whilst that is an option, a lot of items are put in a collective because they are troublesome, where as a farm sale, the machines should be more genuine, also it would take a lot of man hours to drag it all to the nearest collective, 40 miles away.but you've always the option of bringing it home.

In the easiest way,,what ever the hammer falls on. I haven't a clue what it's all worth, I bought it to do a few big jobs which it has done.
Yes, it is difficult to value items. I find I just scratch my head and wonder if I'm undervaluing things. Auctions save that hassle as it's worth whatever someone is prepared to pay for it and when two people decide they want it on the day it can be profitable.
I have some bits and pieces that will be going in the local collective in May. I also have a couple of larger items that I'm scratching my head over whether to sell or not :scratchhead:.

I'm working on the theory that if I'm scratching my head over weather I need it of not, then I don't need it. Selling the feed wagons as going self feed, and if they are sat in the yard it will be to easy to give in when the cows break the fence and end up on top of the clamp.
