I just bought a New Idea 311 2-row wide picker with 8-roll bed back from a sale today. A little weathered, but ready to pick, just have to put a lift cylinder in. $10.00 That's all I paid. I feel a little ashamed. Usually a picker like that in good running order will bring $400. First time I've ever been at a sale where one didn't bring any interest . . . .

I just saw one sell today for 25.00 here in IOWA. At some auctions here you can't run fast enough to give these away. But if it is a narrow row [30in.] with a 12 roll bed they can go to 1000/1500 dollars. Usually one row pickers go for more than 2row wide's. I would NOT feel guilty about buying one "cheap" ... thats why they call it an auction!

Tim, good deal you got yourself there it sounds like! How old is it? I'm not sure I've ever seen one out here, but I might not know one if I did. Don't feel guilty, you can borrow some of my "I paid too much!" buyers remorse that I seem to bring home from every sale. But auctions have been strange around here lately too. I saw a hay wagon with good running gear, fair wood, a little warped, different size tires but just real decent shape go for $25 awhile back. I was taking a box of junk back to the truck (that I paid too MUCH for) when it sold. A few weeks earlier saw one in worse shape go for $300, so I didn't think I had chance. Guess that's the fun of a sale. But I have notice that all the "Lady's" stuff, antiques, furniture, household stuff, has been going higher than a cat's back...

That should be brought back, not bought back.
