honesty when trading something in

[seedman stains]

Is anyone into this, does it make any difference?

 

[bobk]

You tell us .

 

[spin cycle]

yes i would tell of faults....buy or sell at auction is another matter

 

[Cowabunga]

I learnt the hard way never to trust a farmer part exchanging a tractor. Two instances specifically spring to mind, which I won't go into.

My machinery never really makes the trade in stage

This. Plenty of instances spring to mind.

But certainly can’t tar all with the same brush! Fortunately there are plenty of very genuine and honest people out there...

Is buying or selling at auction another matter? At my local scrap sale they ask if a machine is in working order when you enter it and this is given out during the sale. A tidy looking haybob was returned after the last auction because it was described as being in working order but the gears were stripped.

It's a collective sale I'm talking about, held at the market. Maybe it's just their own policy.

I think it’s the same at every collective sale if it is sold in good working order then it has to be so or you can demand your money back.

Some places it's strictly sold as seen. Others, notably York, if it says gwo as declared by the vendor then it must be and you have 3 days to lodge a complaint.

Everything sold at auction has to be "as described" although there's still a lot of scope:

As seen
When last used was OK
Working order
Good working order
I suspect most auctioneers have their own variations


The term "cubicle housed, herringbone milked" always makes me smile. Lots of cubicle housed cows don't lie in the cubicles, and I've know plenty of herringbone milked cows that can be right bitches!

I bought a 956 years ago at Cambs. Of course buyer beware. It was put in by a company now a large JD dealer and craftily the transmission warning light was disconnected. Permenant 4 wheel drive.
A nice one came up with our local dealer. The duff one went to a local collective sale. I thought f'it. It did look smarter after a little tlc. I got a phone call during the morning of the
sale from the local dealer who was just about to bid when the possibility dawned on him.!

Not round here , expect the worst and you won't be disappointed ,

I might write a book on the subject when I'm retired. Think I'd trust QF further than some farmers I dealt with. The odd TFF member included

Most things entered into a collective sale are there for a reason, and it’s reflected in the price.

I'm not odd .
