misrepresenting auctioneer

I bought a baler today. The auctioneer claimed it had 4000 bales through it. When I paid for it and got the monitor in the office, it had a tag tied to it that said 9600 bales. I went straight back out and confronted the auctioneer about his misrepresentation. He basically said sorry, tough luck, and if I don't want it anymore, I can refuse it and leave it there. I found the owner, which was a dealer dumping a trade-in, and asked him about it, he offered to give me $1000 off the price, and I took it.

This same auctioneer sold a Bish adapter off a Gleaner M2 to me a couple months ago. When I went to remove it, it was WELDED on! Seller was annoyed because he had to cut it off for me. He had stepped out of the truck for a minute when the Gleaner happened to be sold, otherwise he would have the the auctioneer NOT to sell the adapter separate.

I know auctioneers are supposed to talk up the item and whip the crowd into a buying frenzy, but why do they gotta be such constant liars? "Super rare item!" "hard to come by!" "only lightly used on a small farm!" "Folks, when are you going to get another chance to buy an item like this?" "Absolutely nothing wrong with it!" "Only 4000 bales!"

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o ... [Read Article]
