Ritchie Bros Saskatoon sale

[Guest]

Walked around saskatoon sale yesterday , looks like RB is the biggest JD dealer in Sask. ? Sure must be some dealers scared shitless to put that many green late model sprayers and combines in a winter sale ?

Lots of the stuff comes from JayDee..Wonder who owns who..or is it the same group owns both?
Some thing is weird there..

Acceptable loss Case.

If its a Jaydee unit ignore the "work order" I bought a piece there a few years back and most of what was on the work order wasn't done or if it was done it was not done with what Id describe as complete practices.

All got a great WASH job, and touch up paint overhauls.

Now we will know what the true value of the "like" new pieces of equipment are. Add the cost of one year's use and that should be what that new shit should be worth still sitting on the lots. Then they can dream up some magical ways to "program" them down to the point someone will actually buy them! New seeding equipment...should be interesting. What? You mean you don't have to wait in line to get one because the factory isn't at production capacity?

How did the sale go?

The sale is Friday, December 4th.

Its a lot more work getting stuff to its destination; than there is in the buying process.

It would stimulate the economy greatly if auctioneers would create a system of "flat rate delivery" or "free shipping" or shipping included in sale price.

Guess the Americans will be pushing the buttons with their dollar advantage. Freight is a big deal but not as bad as an Edmonton sale.
