Auctoning off Tractor ???

auctions cost money.... I would list on Face Book or Craigs List for YOUR PRICE.. Set a little HIGH... then wait for the calls and haggle if needed. ... photos help.

Our local sportsman club has a consignment auction every spring. If you want stuff advertised you have to let them know before the ad date. They have a big crowd and fair fees all you have to do is bring your stuff and drop it off the week before. A couple auctioneers also hold consignment sales a couple times a year. Just have to take your stuff th their location.

On line auctions in my area usually get more money for tractors and equipment than on site only auctions.Some are a combination of both.

Try Big Iron, people from all over will see it.

another option may be that you can put them in with another auction.  Sometimes auction companies allow you to put your stuff in with another persons or companies items . You get more exposure that way because there more items in the auction.

I imagine you’d probably already be vigilant about it, but whichever direction that you decide to sell, “check & recheck” that each item is correctly spelled/listed. Important Internet listings info include, but not limited to;
-“manufacturer’s names,” List all versions in an advertisement,
AC, A-C, Allis Chalmers, Allis-Chalmers, etc..,
-“model numbers, again list all versions, D17, D-17, D17 series ?, 180, one eighty, one-eighty, etc.
-“item’s 3pt or Snap Coupler,
-“item’s pto 540, 540/1000,
-“tire sizes, 16.9-28, 7.5-15,
-“item serial #,
-“item hours,
-item location,
-“6-8 good photos,

A basic internet search engine will usually reveal items that have been listed correctly as searcher types it in correctly. But a poor listing is difficult/near impossible for any search to find it.
Include your contact cell number in the ad by spelling a few of its numbers. If texting works, list it first (ie, text/call). Text messaging will usually connect faster to your phone if your phone’s signal quality is poor. A call/voice message can delay until a better signal is found -sometimes days later??
Good “selling/purchasing etiquette” usually allows;
- first communications usually means first chance to purchase, within reason.
- any agreement (verbal phone conversation, text message, voice messaging, etc) once made, should be honored. Any additional communications/info can be taken into consideration.
- vigilant communications during sell/purchase procedure are extremely courteous & appreciated. Texting allows each party to continue day schedules & still be “in the know”… Like; “Leaving for your place now -eta 1hr 40mins, vehicle accident up ahead/road construction on I57 delaying my eta, got a later start today-eta???, cows got out, picking up kids then leaving, work emergency called me in so need to reschedule,,,etc).
Be patient. Timing is just as important as above items. It might sell spot-on, or could require a few months?
Best of luck.

hey Dave (NE), you still have any of them cultivator parts? I lost a shank and shovel off my rear mount

I was waiting for that one Gary .LOL

Shameless, here is a link to the craigslist posting of the cultivator parts I have:  https://lincoln.craigslist.org/grd/d/lincoln-allis-cultivator-parts/7660829102.html

Thanks for all the info on auctions ETC...

You guys are a wealth of information and I really appreciate the advice.

I have been thinking the same thing about selling.
So far been able to sell some some private.

Auctioneers get 8% to 10%.
I am considering the same thing on a lot of my common tractors.
