North Florida Auction Results

Went to an auction near home last weekend, kind of a long Saturday. I've never seen so much junk in my life! The small stuff really slows things down (christmas decorations, old broken chain saws weedeaters, shovels missing handles, etc). No tractors sold, there was an old Ford industrial with loader, and 8n and a poorly repainted MF 135, none met what the seller wanted. I wanted a two-row rolling cultivator, went right past where I was going to stop, seller got $450 for it, pretty rusty but usable. Older JD two row planter with good fert. hoppers, sold for $800! Two-row sweep-type culitvator with sidedresser, $400. Lots of this type of stuff is being bought up by my fellow hunters for food plots. I did get some good deals: $7 for three heavy duty bottle jacks, all work, missing handles. $25 for a MEC junior .410 reloader, might be able to actually afford to shoot mine again. $10 for 4 Fimco sheilded sprayer sections, like new. $11 for an LP console heater with fan for the hunting camp, no more kerosene heater and the black soot around your nose when you wake up. Someone did jokingly accuse the auctioneer of having an inside deal on an item, so he gave him the what-for over the PA system for about 5 minutes, pretty entertaining. Just thought I'd share...
