With 6 G1000, 3 G900's, 2 670's, a 2655, a A4t 1400 and 3 A4T-1600 I definately want to go.

Never seen a 670 utility before, have any of you guys seen one before? I am more into the latest model ones..

I planned on going when Aumanns had it since it was a 2 hr drive but since Kruse has it and moved it up to where I"m in school I ca"t go. My dad may go one day to look at some of the bigger Minne"s to use around the farm and the Twin Cities.

THe last Kruse sale in N.C. The buyer had to pay 7% sales tax, for parking, and for admission to sale! and 10% buyers premium! They wanted to keep the spectators away and that sure did it. Figure 17% plus on every bid. Its hard for people to keep on there mind when they get to waving that ticket...

I got the small flyer in the mail for this today. Reading in some of the fine print it says that without Prior Written permission from Kruse, you Must have all items purchased off the property within 24 hours or Kruse will move it for you and you will also owe the handling fee as well !
How many other suprises will everyone be in for ?

What I want to know is when 100's of semi's milling around at the sale haw is anything going to get done? If it is a typical nebraska spring it could be one large mud hole. Remote location and all this is going to be messed up..

It is not mentioned in the sale flyer anywhere, but I was informed, and this is strictly hear-say, that there is also a 5.5% sales tax on items purchased at this sale. I would think it would be kinda nice if this was mentioned. So you can figure on adding 15.5 to 20.5% to whatever you bid!!

I've been to Kruse auctions before and I have no intention of ever going to another one. I have an issue with paying high commissions and entry fees just for the "opportunity" to bid on items at their sales. Having to put a large amount of money down just to get a bid number is a real pain too.

When Aumanns had the auction, I was planning on going. But since finding out about all the legal troubles and this sudden switch to Kruse, I have decided not to. I have not heard good things about Kruse, and the way their auctions are run. They are charging a $10 fee to get in, plus a 10% buyers premium on tractors and a 15% buyers premium on parts and literature. This adds up to a lot of extra money in a hurry, and the greedy SOBs are getting everything out of you that they can.

you got it. If it wasn't for one tractor on the sale I would not go. Who knows there is a long time till the sale it still could be postponed. 7 days to sell all that! They must be mad....

Is there a website for "kruse"? I haven't dealt with that auctioneer before. Sound like quite the treat - Hey I got it for 600$ wait no I guess more like 675 when you are done on any item. Then do you mileage most guys are going to come from 300 miles or so at least.

So 600 miles at 9 mpg, lets say 70 gallons X 3$ = 210 + all the extra crap along the way.

600$ for say a item is now a whopping 1000$ give or take 100$

Auctions are not always cracked up to what they could be, but then again .....

So what was that website ... LOL ....
