Welcome back..........
The prices at Richies have been insane. Been looking to upsize excavator and trailer and maybe add a skidsteer, and prices are in some cases 10% higher then what I paid for my stuff a year ago. And pick ups? Forget about it, i'll go to the dealer and buy brand new for the same price as a few year old truck, and get 0% financing. Not even sure if I should waste my time going to the one later this month or not.
Been tempted to give them a call, see what they think my stuff will get. Even if stuff is going high i'm upgrading to more expensive stuff so it may work out. No reserve just scares me a bit.
Unless you have 50 of them to to put in Ritchie's , be careful. Your one item can be used to create hype. They sell yours first at a low price to get people hyped and bidding then people chase that same deal all day but so do 50 others.
Often the guy who bought yours knows the auctioneer!
I took a $6500 overhead electric 20t chain fall there figured I'd get $600 at least!
$50 and by the time I paid Ritchie's I think I walked away with just enough to buy lunch!...at McDonald's !
I got schooled !

If she had half a brain she might be worth listening to. She obviously has no idea that petroleum and petroleum based products are in everything form her toothpaste, soap, shampoo in the morning to clothing, shoes, glasses and on and on and on....
If your item was in that price range then it went on the silent auction. No way for your theory to happen. I have spent and sold alot at Ritchies over the years and frankly I think your way off base. I have never seen them turn down a bid. Ritchies runs a very good business and provides a valuable service. But the simple fact of the matter is it takes two people to create a bidding war and if your item doesnt attract peoples interest, your not going to get a good price.Unless you have 50 of them to to put in Ritchie's , be careful.

I would give anything to give one of these to both nutley and Tru-D'OH
It has been awhile hasn't it?
Let the chit show beginYes, it has.
what are you hauling on it? looks pretty stiff for just a sprayer (just guessing at sprayer from the tires)Finally got a trailer to haul my machine around, now to pay for it.
I have a cat 973c track loader, and my buddy's dad has a 20 ton hoe, they said they would pay me to move all the time. Plus just farm equipment, tractors, and farm related things.what are you hauling on it? looks pretty stiff for just a sprayer (just guessing at sprayer from the tires)
ah gotcha. plenty of trailer for all that. just watch for clearance with that double drop, dragging the rails going straight isn't too bad as long as you have a bit of momentum, but if you're turning out of a steep approach, those rails digging into the pavement or gravel will stop you dead in your tracks. removing the neck is to unload is next to impossible when you aren't straight with the trailer. believe me, I know....lolI have a cat 973c track loader, and my buddy's dad has a 20 ton hoe, they said they would pay me to move all the time.

if it doesn't have an override valve for the bags, you might want to consider adding one just for those situations
