I saw a few American bidders but not tons?

How many folks here are a bit suspicious about shill bidding happening at many of these auctions.

Too many times somebody jumps in when it is needed most to drive prices up?

USA farmers are feeling the low prices. There hurting and hurting bad. They don't care about our over priced shit.

When you can't see who the other bidders are, can you trust the "on-line" bidding?

**JDGreen** · Mar 18, 2016, 05:03

No you can't trust it at all. It's total bullshit and should be made illegal. Main reason why I don't auction sale shop.

I never buy at the big orange auctions, because of the alledged phantom bidders. Also, agree, machinery still cheaper to source down south.

If I do a good assessment of the machine, decides what a good deal
would be based on the market I am in and then stay under that value
when bidding, I could care less if there is a phantom bidder or not.
I'm going to go home with a good deal if I am the winner. A deal I could
not have got anywhere else.
Over the years the worst experiences buying equipment have been
when buying from a dealer.
