I have seen fellows sell out in many ways. If your completely quitting farming than an on farm live auction is still a pretty good way to sell things. Just remember that advertising is the key IF you have some high dollar stuff. That one person from miles away can easily drive the sale price up on one item much more than the cost of advertising. Junk will bring junk price but many things will have a value you may not expect.
I would have everything out in a row that you want rid of. Even a dollar is better than paying to have it hauled away. I just helped my BIL have his sale a few years ago. HE was a pack rat but most of hiss tuff was in good shape. He had 20 hog feeders. They all had good lids and cast iron bases, no holes. We felt he would be lucky to get $5-10 each on them. He did advertise them as good and had lots of pictures on line. Those feeders sold for over $100 each average. He had lots of rough sawed lumber. HE would have logs sawed to build things an always had some lumber left over. Red and White Oak, Wild Cherry, Poplar, and a few boards of walnut. You could have hauled it all in a one ton truck. We sorted it into piles of each type. That lumber brought over $2000. Several furniture restoring guys bid it up to use for repairs.
So you never know what will sell well. IF it is advertised well then things will 90% of the time bring their market value. That may not be what you want but it usually is close. Things will average out too. Some stuff will sell high and some will go low. On my BIL sale he had two good Stihl chain saws. An 038 Magnum and a O28Av saw. The 038 only sold for $175 and the 028 for $125. That 038 is $1000 saw new. It should have brought $400-500 but it did not. The rest of the stuff on the wagons sold for new price so it averaged out.

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together.
