With over 25 years of being on the sale trail of buying and selling you learn when your being played and dragged thru the mud . I covered a lot of sales across three states . The acutioneers i worked with always treated me right ONCE they got to know me , BUT when i was just getting started NAh they kicked me around big time . Plus i had a good teacher . He kept me from making a fool out of myself . Vary first piece they let me buy was a plum wore out I H 370 Disc , I tried to buy it on my first outing , it needed a total rebuild BUT had a clean frame I chased it to 400 when my buddy asked me what i was doing with a bid of 400 bucks , he told me that 200 was almost to much and the auctioneer pulled a 450 bid off a bird that flew by and i backed off and walked away . This went on thru the whole sale and all i got bought that day was two hod dogs and a pepsi . Two weeks later back at the same sale the same disc was still setting in the same spot and i tried once again and this time i dropped at 250 and walked away , Two weeks later we hit it again this time dropping at 200 and walked away . Two weeks later i bought it for 175 . NOW they were letting me buy . As i started hitting sales it took a bit before you were taken into the fold . Couple dealer only sales were the tough ones being a new face and fresh meat . Once in the game was on If you over spent No big deal just write the check and tell them to hold it for what ever 10 days a month not a problem as long as you made it good . The one day i was settling up and was writing the biggest check i ever wrote and another jockey from Iowa was settling up and that guy wrote a check for 7.8 MIL . for one day of buying . He was getting ready for his big fall auction and was buying big combines like a drunken sailor on shore leave and nice clean big tractors of all colors , Plus he was having the sale lot start hauling them out along with his four semi's . That sale was huge twice a month two days both times . Found my pride and joy at that sale, a 54 Farmall S/MTA one owner . Gave 1650 bucks for it plum stole it only thing wrong with it was one headlite was burnt out and NO BRAKES , good T/A and every M&W update . I could have loaded it and trucked it east to Tri Green's sale and dropped it off and sold it for probably 29-3200 in less then a week . As Dick Green asked me to . That day i ended up buying a bunch of tractors and i did send four over to Dick's sale .
