Dome valley auction results

[LukeSte]

for all of us that couldnt make is, we are wondering what things went for. the steam engines in particular, the rumely H, and what some of the bone yard tractors went for.

what was the crowd like? anxious bidders?? nervous? or money burning holes on pockets?

were most after tractors or steamers?

what did people say about the bidders premium and buying bidding numbers??

thanks from all of us envious people that couldnt make it

Re: dome valley auction results

I'm waiting to see what German George has to say about the auction.

Wonder if anyone we know was able to get a good tractor at the sale.

I'll get to visit German George the end of May, so I'm sure I'll hear all about the auction then, but it is hard waiting.

Wonder how long it will take before Kruse to posts the auction results?

Re: dome valley auction results

I am HAPPY to report that the Werth Family of Symco Fame are the new owners of a 12/25 Case. After messing around all day at the HOT auction site they got their game. Someone asked about the H Rumely and that went for 21 grand. I think the Symco bunch is so wore out from waiting for their Case that they won't even have steam for the Platium Caberet. CONGRATULATIONS. 3,000 miles is a long way to go for a tractor.

Re: dome valley auction results

It seems like prices are a bit light on some of the bigger items, given the rabidity with which money has been spent on big iron in recent history. Maybe Kruse's massive charges for the priviledge of spending one's money took its toll, as expected.

Maybe there is hope for some of us mere mortals to obtain big iron, yet!:crazy:

Re: dome valley auction results

Are the amounts listed for the Big Bull and Little Bull correct?

I would believe 6500 and 7000, but find it hard to believe that someone would pay ten times that amount.

Re: dome valley auction results

I imagine most of the inflated prices are an indication of the further rape of America's agricultural heritage by ravenous Europeans.

Ain't it great to see that the only place the dollar is strong is China (as long as its buying slave labor consumer goods):rant:

The last Bull tractor to sell at auction sold a couple years ago (I THINK) in Texas.
It brought around $62,500 as I recall.

Q: What do Rev Jim and a shipping container heading back to Europe from Yuma have in common?

A: They're both full of Bull!

Re: dome valley auction results

Following along on G's comment, "They ain't makin' em anymore", I was saddened to see that someone passed on the one Sawyer 11-22. Why?? Who ever bought the one should have surely bought the other, fore when they get the one home that they bought, they will indeed find something missing and say, why did we not buy the other skeleton.

Re: dome valley auction results

The first Sawyer 11-22 sold on Friday and went for around 2,200. The engine was missing a lot of parts... other parts were missing on the tractor also. In my opinion it sold kinda soft. The second Sawyer 11-22 sold on Saturday and went for around 5,000 and was missing a lot more parts. A pallet of parts were sold on Sunday at the parts yard for around 700. An extra Erd engine went for 1,000. I think the buyers of the two tractors worked out something so they wouldn't be bidding against each other.

Craig,

Guess I sold my Big Bull too cheap. I only got $1500 for it:bonk:

It was a project tractor, but the guy I sold it to restored it and it is a runner now.

Still can't see why anyone would want one to pay that much for a Bull tractor when there are so many better tractors.

Re: dome valley auction results

While were talking about tractor prices; I have a chance to buy a very original, complete, strong running Massey Harris/ Wallis 12-20, about '28 or '29 vintage. Very good sheet metal etc. and all tanks and water injection system intact. Is $3500 Can a good price?? I'm usually involved with early Allis.

YES!! That is plenty fair.

George, as far as tractors go Avery's aren't much better!
But I love my Avery anyway............
Like anything else......someone has to want it (even if it's YOU......... ) or it isn't worth anything.

Then there's the WEIRD factor......I like tractors that don't look like "normal" tractors.

"And that's the way it is, March 5th, 2007".................

PS: I could MAKE room for a Bull tractor in my shed...................

A friend Of mine bought the first 11-22 that sold. His buddy bought the Other one. I think they went in on the pallet of parts together to split. My friend already has an extra Erd motor. Between the two tractors they are going to swap and make new parts for each other. Its a good deal for both of them.
