REPORT FROM DEALER AUCTION IN SIKESTON, MO SATURDAY (Dec. 19th)
One of our new field reps, Chris from Kentucky, sent me a sale price rundown from the big absolute dealer auction in Sikeston, Missouri Saturday (Dec. 19th). Chris also sent me a great video clip showing a JD 4730 sprayer with 0 hours....yep, 0 hours, that sold, plus a 2007 CaseIH 8010 combine with 687 hours. We'll be posting this video on our homepage today, so check back for peek at what this 4730 sprayer and CaseIH 8010 combine sold for. Here a few prices from the Sikeston, MO sale Saturday:

    ** COMING SOON: VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS FROM NORTHWEST ILLINOIS AUCTION SATURDAY **
    What a fun sale this one was to shoot. Why spend the last Saturday before Christmas shopping in the mall when you can go stand in the 10 degree cold for 3 hours at a machinery auction? I'm serious. Great equipment, great folks, great day. Thanks to auctioneers Darrel Dahl and Bob Johnson for inviting me down to the sale. Check back for the video highlights of this sale, you don't want to miss them. Just click on the "Machinery Pete Video" link on our homepage.

    ** NEW WAY TO VIEW ALL SALE PRICES FROM AN AUCTION **
    This new web site feature is pretty cool. Folks in our "auction results" database can click on any piece of equipment and up will pop a screen showing ALL THE OTHER EQUIPMENT SOLD ON THAT AUCTION. Very helpful I think as a frame of reference. Helps give you a handle on whether everything sold high that day on the sale, or maybe the just the hay equipment was soft, etc. We'll keep adding new user features to the site.....so it can be the best information tool it can be to help you SAVE $$ :-)
