I second Traditional farmers comments. The value of anything at an auction is determined by the two people who want it the most. As a seller that is exactly what I want. If this was your auction, would you have stopped it at the price you thought was fair and gave it to the seller? I bet no.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
