First point of how I will bid is . I never start the bidding. I always wait until the first and second bidders have wore themselves out, and one is starting to hesitate. Then , if I still want the item, and think it is worth the money I will bid. If they where going up by $50.00 bids , I will bid $100.00 higher. Usually The bidder who thought he had the piece bought will bid again. I will then up his bid by twice what he just upped my bid. Some times the other guy will get mad and bid again. Now the equipment could be going for more than it is worth, and I will let him have it. But if the price is still good ,on we go.I have jumped the bid by $500.00 when the last two guys were raising each other $50.00, had the other guy bid another $50.00 , and left him with it. Auctions can be fun! Second point, if I know what a piece of equipment is worth, and it is good , and I am going to buy one anyway. Why waste more time going around to more sales looking for a deal ,or fooling with dealers. Just pay a bit more than the other guy and be done with it. I have more to do than run to sales standing around all day and not buying anything. I leave that for the dealers/old guys and hobby farmers.While there can be some fun, this is business for me, and I treat it as such. Bruce

I have been restoring old Farm Tractors for the past 6 years, and have found it easier and less expensive to hit all the auctions and purchase whole tractors for parts needed. My wife who works at a local school, and only has weekends and summers off, while on t
