In Reply to: auction - what would you do? posted by JRSutton on February 11, 2013 at 12:24:54:

Depends on the situation I guess.

Nothing good about the deal, so nothing to feel good about.

If the fella had medical problems, then I'd sure feel real bad for him.

Otherwise, Established farmer, these last 4 years, sure is hard to go broke as things are, you have to try hard to not make it farming.

Did it get drank away, or at a casino, or what happened?

Would feel sorry, but not feel like lending changing my ways to a fella that happened to. I mean, down on his luck, and would hope he can find a better path, certainly not dancing on his misfortune! But, here he woulda made his bed, and he's got to own up to it, I wouldn't alter my life to allow him to basically step on others....

Without knowing the story, how's a fella to make a judgement call like that? So I would just have to care about me and mine with the info given, and act with honesty and my own considerations in such a case.

In any event, we are not supposed to judge, even if we know the story, so.... This is a legal auction, it appears some debts were not paid, and the stuff is at legal auction, it would not be moral to stick it to the debt holders any more than it would be moral to look down upon the fella.....

So, to be moral and non judge mental, one should go to the legal auction and do what you normally would do at any other auction, bid on stuff you wanted to buy up to the price you planned to pay.

Anything else is unfairly judging, and trying to referee the case on your own without being party to all the facts....

Now again, that doesn't mean I'd be happy to stomp on the guy, and sure seems like others were taking advantage of the fella, and whether its judging or not sure would matter to me why he is in the situation he is in....

But, what really is moral there, if you change your actions, are you really following the moral path, or are you just shafting/ rewarding someone else?

Paul

Today's Featured Article - New Hitches For Your Old Tractor - by Chris Pratt. For this article, we are going to make the irrational and unlikely assumption that you purchased an older tractor that is in tip top shape and needs no immediate repairs other than an oil change and a good bath. To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the ...
