Any turf equip. auctions in the Midwest?

[shearbolt]

I love auctions. Is there a good search engine to find lawn care equipment being auctioned?

My experience with auctions is that people are willing to pay nearly as much for something warn out as it costs new.
In some cases, more.

I usually go to at least 4 or 5 a month, I buy spare equipment or things I want to try out. You only have to bid if you want to.

went to my first auction last week. items were going for 10% of market price. equipment, plants, tools. good opportunity if you can repair things yourself.

There used to be a big outdoor power equip. connsignment auction in Omaha NE each spring (feb or march I think). I haven't heard of any in 2001 or any coming up though. I like actions to and I'm only 100 miles from Omaha so this would be a good one for me. Hope they have it again.

[GLS]

items were going for 10% of market price
Is that 10% of or 10% off?

[bubble boy]

10% of price.

thats a ballpark figure, but one particular tree i saw was $750 and went to a bidder for $50.

and many cases were like that.

I just found out about a consignment auction on March 16, 2002 in Lincoln NE at State fair park. Tractors, Acreage and Farm equipment, Shop & Industrial equipment, Lawn & Garden :D equipment, Recreational & miscellaneous items. Here's a printable sale bill, http://www.heesackerrealtyandauction.com/Heesacker%20Lincoln%20Sale.pdf
I might take a couple things to it myself. Wish me luck:)
