What machine have you sold and couldn't believe ....

Someone bought it .
Mine's a Lely optimo mower , sold it spares or repair for 99p , it made £723 . I felt guilty for a while.
If he got it going he's a cleverer man than me

30 year old lamb scales weren't working properly anymore after I had tried tinkering and modify/bodge . lots of rust and some stabilizer bits had rotted off on the bottom. Made £250 at a auction

Went onto do 100s of acres for many more years... Was laughing when he brought it back.

Pretty much any of the 10000/12000 hour manitous that leave here they run and do the job but you wouldn’t want to rely on one.

Only person who smiles on me is the scrappy

A few on here have probably sold MF 188 s and the buyer can't believe it

Every time we send old fence posts and wire to auctions
Once I took 300 metres worth of second hand rotting post and rail, got £1200!

Been a few occasions at auction I've wanted to step in and stop the bidding and say " no this is making too much".
but no one ever done it for me. So u I don't

It’s surprising how much a knackered sprayer or mixer ect can make at carlisle auction if you make it pretty for the day

I sold an old-fashioned lawnmower once, not working, years ago before the internet. Asked £20 and it went the same day. Couldn't believe how many people were ringing up, turned out it was worth about £750...

Just talking generally Sunderlands held 2 online farm sales a couple of weeks ago . What the stuff made was unbelievable . An IH b47 baler that was seized up and probably never work again ...£1200

I had an old 3 furrow IH plough I bought for £25 in a farm sale to plough a few fields, only got used twice and sat in nettles.
I was going to throw it in the scrap.
Young lad here doing a bit of work wanted it to go behind his restored IH tractor, I sold it to him for scrap value.
Got inquisitive and googled it, only one I could find was for sale for £800.
No regrets as it was better than scrapping it!

I washed and laid all the kit out for a local farm sale around 25 years ago and the guy had a old wag tail fert spreader sat unused for several years in the nettles that I steam cleaned off and put in his line up and it made all but as much as it’s replacement that sold well.

Not machinery, but a load of old rubber cubicle mats. Taken out as they got terribly slippery and was going to skip them.

Took them to a local collective sale where they made £20 per mat. Couldn't believe it!

one mans muck is another mans brass

 

[Rossymons]

Gates and ring feeders always make As New money at the local collective. Absolutely mental.

 

[Spuddler]

Myself and another TFF member dragged a tow along grader out the hedge for scrap. everything totally seized. Made around £1200 online
Bloke was chuffed to bits with it.
