[QUOTE="TriHonu, post: 9483, member: 897"] I attend most of the Ritchie Brothers Auctions in Lakeville, MN just south of Minneapolis MN. Yes there are deals to be had, but they are few and far between. You will be bidding with a lot of professionals from the earth-working industries who know exactly what this stuff is and what it is worth. Some of the equipment is new, however some is being dumped because it is a “problem child” or at the end of its lifecycle and not cost effective to maintain/run. The equipment is available for inspection for a couple of days prior to the auction. You can start and move it around a little. This helps your decision but will not tell you if there is a problem under the usual working conditions. There is also a small lot charge on any lot that sells for less than 2500 dollars and is 10% of the sale price. Everything is sold as is where is, however they have large forklifts and will load items for no charge. I have bought a number of skidsteer attachments and paid significantly less than what I would pay at a dealer for the same used equipment. The last auction I bought an almost new Bobcat brand 66” 4 in 1 Combination Bucket with teeth for $700. With 10% small lot fee and tax it was $820.05 out the door. Compared with other used equipment in this area it should have sold for at least $1600. I consider this a bargain. In this part of Minnesota there are a number of auctions that are primarily Heavy and Landscape equipment. Usually the auctions are held in the spring and late fall or winter. Most is consigned to the auction service so it can all be sold at the same time drawing a larger crowd. [/QUOTE]
