Our local JD megadealer had its annual lawn and garden sale last weekend. It was the same deal as you describe, you know its crooked going in but just bid your price and be done. They ran them thru the shop while the auctioneer sat in the truck and sold them. After a while you could pick up on the hand signals between the ring men and the auctioneer. Caught them a couple times where the fake bid from mid air got hung with the high bid, then all of a sudden they backed the price up to the highest real bid and THEN sold it. Also a few that sold that the auctioneer said sold, said the selling price and buyer number without looking up from his paper or taking a breath.
The biggest b!$&*h of the whole thing was that I looked the mower I bought (JD GX345) over 2 days before the sale, looked at it again the morning of the sale and the hood was fine. Went to load it up after sale and the hood was cracked where someone looking at it jerked it open and broke it. Nothing $350 won't fix......
And like BarnyardEngineering talked about, I only gave half what they had it listed online for the week prior to the sale. When I decided I wanted to upgrade mowers, it was an easy decision to just wait for the auction.

The generator was shot as well as all the wiring. I dropped off the tractor expecting a transformation from a 6 volt to a 12 volt system utilizing the original generator housing, and a total rewiring of the whole tractor. The front end center pin bushing was worn also so I ask that they replace it if they had time. Well, that’s wha
