Desperately sad to see sales like this and then there’s Steve thorley the Potatoe equipment man also having a liquidation sale

The auctioneer has just lobbed stuff in random heaps, photographed it, uploaded it to a website and is charging 15% for the privilege?!!!!

Unbelievable, I’m in the wrong game.
Yes quite a shoddy job and things won’t make what they’re worth. Shame most of its draper/Sealey stuff though. I could do with a new work shirt, my size should be in there, but not sure what I’d do with the other 40 odd shirts😳

Not a fan of this type of auction either, think you’ve got the item then someone else bids and it runs for another 1/2 hour.

They used to have quite a few auctions at base in thetford. Electrical stuff in the main. Never seen so many fuse boards, fittings etc!

And they always had a "healthy" premium on them 🙈 surprised its not more than 15% to be honest 🤐
 
Lets hope that everything makes more than most of us on here can afford. Everyone wants a bargain, but if the farming community supported their local dealers properly, perhaps many of them would still be a going concern. Been in a similar situation myself as an employee, and its not nice when liquidators get involved. Sorry if this upsets some on here, but I speak as I find.

Apologies if my comments have offended.
I am as upset as anyone about the demise of local businesses.
Suffolk agri have been an excellent source of advice, information and a great service to our local agricultural area. It will be sorely missed.
