Farm sale

[Ray1]

Was that new prices before VAT and Buyers Premium was added?

What I don't get is at the majority of farm sales down here the stuff goes for stupid money and most are buying to sell.

 

 

I had a farm sale in 1996, nearly twenty years ago, and one of the items was a Clarke parts washer

I think we paid about ninety something quid for it in 1993 and it went for £110 at the sale when a new one was still in the nineties!

A sunny day, good food and drink, good auctioneer and the "I'm not letting him have it" attitude all play a part

And fairly large single farm payments!!

No buyers premium just VAT on sales. I had a list with me of the new prices so I could compare. Glad for the guy prices were strong.

 

All the kit had been sprayed during the week by auctioneers. I'd have preferred to see it in farm condition.

With the hand piece that's a reasonable price, if all in good working order!

I remember once seeing a used pair of Halfords jump leads selling at a farm auction for £25 plus vat, plus 18% premium. They were only £7.99 brand new off the shelf. As the old saying goes, "Remember your cheque book and leave your brains at home."
