I noticed this huge auction coming up. It is organized by POLK equipment. The collection of Deere tractor is amasing. I think all of that is worth at least 2M !!!! (I guess 15k x 125 tractors, but many are close to 100K (WA14, WA17, Waterloo boy, 8020, all of the rare hicrops).

I always ask myself why the sellers are selling ALL their tractors at the same time, while a few less would pay some bills.

FDT .... why is he selling all at once? Ha, maybe because he finally came to his senses .... LOL! That'a a lot of money, a guy wonders what's behind it all?
 
All those million dollar items & I like the little gravity boxes the best. Lol! Never seen those before. At least not with the Porter name. I think
it's EZ Flow? EZ Trail?.... EZ something that still makes mini wagons. That guy sure has a lot of plows, too! I like the IH nine bottom, but have no
clue as to how I would get it home. Looks like an extra wide load to me. Wondering what's with the WA14 Deere. Is it a repainted Wagner? Kind of looks
like one. Very cool whatever the story.

I would like to know what percent of the acquired price the auction brings. I just see too many
common tractors in the mix and then so many not running. There are some high dollar tractors but
over all I just cannot see gue guy getting anywhere close to his money back. I have been wanting to
convert an AC G to a kubota diesel . Guess I could get one to do that project as there is one with
no engine.
 
I went to a Auction live bidding, every thing was nice,the tractors were the only bargains there, everything else brought more than anybody expected, they had a 30 yr old stock trailer bumper hitch, it looked like it was only 10 yrs old, brought $3,000 even, he had about 34 guns, they brought between 250, and 600 Dollars, they were nice,The only bargain was the big fancy John Deere gun safe, it was like new,brought $650.00 American . People were tired of being coped up and wanted to spend some money, i guess.
 
Probably selling it out "to get their affairs in order", and not leaving the kids to deal with a bunch of stuff that they don't know anything about. And by selling it all, especially online, they'll get a bigger group of buyers and probably better prices.
 
I see the sale will be handled via Proxibid.

I do not know if it is a good thing or bad thing to only have one sentence descriptions of the item up for sale.

Seems like any auction via Proxibid is always only one sentence.

Do you think the one sentence is good or bad for the seller?

Collectable tractor prices were generally depressed before 2020.
Rolling the dice for sure.

This auction is now in progress!
