On Line Auctions

[penfield]

Hi Folks
These on line auctions seem to be catching on and I must say in the winter months the idea of following a sale on your PC in a warm office is great or even in the tractor cab with a mobile phone, saves hanging around outside in cold weather. I have bought a few things in recent Pentland Livestock sales and things were very easy. I see their sale this week which ends on Monday has some great lots of tractors machinery parts and collectables and especially literature.

You don't, but why would that matter? If they start below the reserve price, that's up to them. You just need to bid to your price, and not a penny more.

 

[Still Farming]

We been on one's where reserve not met even if not stated and timed one's that tick down and so call end and then suddenly another hour comes up and away they go again?
Some dubious one's out there?

Have heard of a lot of people been outbid on this auction site then get a email telling them there the winning bidder. Think that’s after the dodgy auctioneers bids been removed!!

Let’s just say it’s mentioned up the page a bit!!

 

[Dave W]

I'd suggest if you read the terms and conditions they are quite within their right to sell under the reserve after the auction has timed down.
always surprises me how many folk comment without understanding how things work

Do you actually have an example?

I never think about where the bids come from I just go on the price and if it gets too high for me then I stop bidding simple. Don't over analyse. Life's too short

How do you know your not at auctions previously

 

[Still Farming]

Do you actually have an example?

Not that I wish to quote ,but friends were on the same one as us and all felt uneasy and pulled plug.
Like anything, as stated above ,read their rules and conditions and understand all their handling,storage, buyers and sellers fee's, details etc.etc.

 

[Willie adie]

Buyers premiums, and vat and other charges not always made clear at time of sale can add 30% to hammer price

 

[grainboy]

Not true, read the auction site details, it has show conditions of transactions by law I believe,
Yes some charge rather high commission,

Would you always know in a conventional auction?
