Ritchie Bros Auction

Anybody watching?

[blackpowder]

Which do you mean?
I think every dealer in Western Canada will be watching from the edge of their seats the first few sales. I'll be watching Stoon closely

The big Rouleau sale is on Wednesday.

I’m thinking a lot of buyers will be involved with our weak $.

Rouleau is Tuesday...

Agreed, lots will head south.

What a gold mine, that mumbo-jumbo, especially since on-line bidding. Gravy Train

Excuse my fake news.

I’m thinking $1.40 CDN will be sending a lot of iron to Montana and the Dakotas.
Going by the SF3 winter wheat and unharvested corn crop report they will be dealing with muddy conditions.

I don't think the inconvenience of internet bidding fees has affected bidding at all.

Ya guys are not shy about spending $$$ .
Maybe some are spending the FCC/advance $$ before it comes?
Lots of people unable to get logged on or repeatedly getting disconnected.
They have had obvious problems a few times and even shut own for a couple minutes and rebooted the system.
Lots of pissed off people but it does not seem to be hurting prices.

It's pretty clear that a lot of the soon to be US$100B MFP is being spent up here in Canada, sure there are a few Canadian farmers spending there new fcc or cgca money...lol

[Herc]

Nobody concerned about coronavirus. Full spend....

I would say prices are amazingly strong. Might have to watch for these items coming up at another later consignment auction. Klause mentioned this a couple years ago about items selling at one consignment auction then miraculously showing up 6 months later at another.

I bought a small earthmover in Saskatoon. After Klause's comments I checked and it was sold at a sale in Brandon a few months earlier. It was advertised with the same pictures. Hmmm.
