NO . Now i have at times called a TRUSTED auctioneer and left a max bid on ONE piece or two for the simple reason that (1) it was the only item at the sale of any interest to me and (2) it was way to far of a drive to make just for that item . (3) it was to be SOLD under the ride and drive . So if i was the one that did infact end up with it when i did get out there to pick it up as usually i was out in the area picking stuff up at another sale yard and did not have a full load , when i got there i could check it out and if i found that it was NOT AS STATED I did not own it and no hard feelings . The only thing i lots was some time and a little fuel. I am the type of buyer that i have to touchy feely what i am buying and look over . I do not mind buying something that needs repair as long as what i pay for it and the cost of said repair and trucking will still net a profit . I would rather make a little on more pieces and MOVE the items then set on something waiting to make a killing on one . You do not BUY what you want but what people will want and when you tell someone that it will go to the field and work it had best WORK as you stated . If i retailed a tractor at the shop when it left my hands it left with a warranty for 90 days. and as long as it was not used in competition or totally abused if it broke i fixed it as fast as i could or we would swap out . Only sold two tractors in the as is where is and so marked on both copys of the bill of sale with both of us signing . Did i get rich NO but i made a decent living . I enjoyed the HUNT and really enjoyed the people i meet . Did a lot of driving lost lots of sleep . Nothing like getting up and hitting the road at 3 Am after getting to bed at midnight then driving hard to make a sale that starts at 9 two states away then spend 10-12 hours at the sale load up the junk you bought get it chained down and make the drive home and get home at 3 Am get four or five hours sleep and unload your prises and start fixing them so you can load them back up and haul them to the next sale in a couple days or a week down the road . The fun of reblading a wore out disc and replacing a couple bad bearings wire brushing the frame and putting on a fresh coat of paint then putting th gangs back up under it and painting them black and putting on a couple new decals by your self is a fun job . Taking and old six bottom plow with a couple wore out bottoms and making it a four bottom with good iron and able to go to the field and plow wright and move it to a market area that wants four bottom steerables . If you do a good job on the cut down and not make it look like a hack job and they work the ones you set in at a given sale will bring more then that hack job one . How did i learn this , i learned from my two friends . It only takes money to make money . And i started off with buying small stuff and being happy with making fifty to a hundred bucks on each pieces , Sell enough pieces making fifty bucks it adds up faster then setting on one for a couple months waiting to make a grand . Never be greedy and never pay tomuch , never get caught up in the bidding war , set a price in your head and NEVER stray from that price. Learn how to read the one bidding against you and if he makes you mad then he is the one that will end up paying to much .
