A lot of farmers have done well even with the increased cost of doing business the past couple of years. Lets not kid ourselves as it is not hard times for every farmer out there.
I have never let an auctioneer work me. I go with a price in mind and if I can't get it then I walk away.
A couple of things you have to remember with Martin's. He has taken the place of several auctions so I am not sure the over all supply has increased. I would bet that it decreased. Gone are the consignment sale at Coryn's in Canandaigua, Ag equipment seldom appears at Saxby's in Mendon anymore. Other auctioneers or auctions have been impacted by Martin in terms of size of sale inventory. Martin was the first to do caps on commissions and sellers noticed. To the point that some farmers do their entire line there. This has cut into the number of sales that somebody like Teitsworth would have. Not complaining about it but just making the observation.
Not saying it's the dealer's job to carry used inventory which is not in his best interest. My observation is in terms of the area jockey's such as Coryn who WANT to sell used iron but are finding harder to get.
