I have been doing auctions for 56 years. I have never been dooped as much as a very large amount purchases i just made. Too tune of 9 pieces of equipment for almost 200 thou. For example a smaller deal of purchase of roatary mower--description said JOHN DEERE MX 7 with 2pics of unused nice green mower. At time i didnt realize no side pics or pics that would show signage on mower. Upon arrival, 4 months later as they somehow forgot to load it(yah right) a nice unused green mower showed up with big letters saying "BIG BEE" Now to us mid west auction people that is thievery!!! JD 8120 --no one mentioned all stop engine lights were on that we found out only took 10 grand to fix parts putting metal filings in HYD system. And of 9 tractors--one started on truck--2 needed starters to start and of course truck load of batteries. COme to find out several with trashed cabs conviently had no pics of that condition. Not sure circumstantial or what but recently got rolled by 2 southern auction companies of this one and Sullivan. Moral story is they are really right when they suggest inspection versus trust them. Even to point when they say its a John Deere, as it may not be, Wasnt a JD in my case. Oh and for customer service--they never responded into my inquiry of how could they say it was a JD? Glad send pics of it to anyone. Other thing all these on Auction Time--Which also never responded to my inquiry and when they did--said as is sale!!!! So auction time does not use any accountability from their consignors and uses none for what they call premier sellers
