Went pullin Sat. at a small show near the Twin Cities. They charged me $12.00 for me and my wife to get in the grounds. I maybe would not have went knowing it ahead of time. Plus the $36.00 in pullin fees for 3 hooks, which ain't bad.
Worse yet.....The big CASE auction coming up very soon, there is a $10.00 fee {donation to a real charity}to ATTEND THE SALE. Plus a 5% buyers premium {Aumann Sale}. Would you guys come to my junkyard if I charged a "look at it fee"? To cover the commericial insurence and time. just my Minn. 2 cents. By the way, if you read this, there is a ..... ..... ..... ...[the end]

I realize that the money is going to a good cause, (and a tax write-off perhaps), but their aren't auctions for real people to go to anymore, but for yuppies that would rather buy a restored tractor then rebuild or understand how they work themselves. i'm afraid that our hobby will end up the same way that the antique car/truck hobby went, with prices skyrocketing beyond belief. I bought my first antique case (SC) in 1995 for $350. Now its hard to find a parts tractor for that price. If anyone wants to go to that auction, good luck, but i doubt a single tractor wil go for under $2500. Thats my couple pennies worth.

I dont blame any salvage yard for not letting everyone into there yard. Because there is 1% out there who dont respect your stuff. Any one who has a yard knows what im saying. Lets see gas caps radiator caps and just about everything they can put into a pocket seems to disapear. Im glad most people in this world are honest. When you make your living from selling parts and they get stolen or ruined because they are exposed to the elements you do get a sour taste sometimes. My 2$$

I'll pay you a "looking at" fee, Don ";^) I'd love to be able to come out and look at your "inventory". I think my brother will be by your place in a couple weeks when he picks up his LA out in your state.
I absolutely detest auctions with a "buyer's premium". Around here it's usually 10%. I avoid those auctions mostly.
