How do I find attachments at auctions?

[ishiboo]

We have a local guy who sells a ton of attachments cheap he picks up from auctions. 72" rock buckets for $550, 68" tooth buckets for $650, etc. They're all picked up at auctions. Unfortunately right now he's out of everything I need. Other sellers also pick up a lot of attachments (especially Versatech) at auctions for dirt cheap.

Whenever I search for attachments, I MIGHT find one every 10 auctions, and it'll usually go for 10x what it's worth. How do people find these? There must be a secret...

Here's a website one of my local auction companies uses.

Just a heads up on a lot of auctions...there are additional costs a lot of times above the winning bid price...the totals of some of those costs can reach close to 20% depending on payment methods and sales taxes etc...

Your guy might also be using Craigslist. Best way to use that is SearchTempest Online Classifieds Search - All the Classifieds. One Search. Then you don't hafta search each city separately, just add a mileage you are willing to travel and it'll search a circle around your location.

Thanks guys. Richie and Proxibid look great but nothing ever near me I've seen. I'll keep an eye on both as they do have a ton of stuff!

Nothing gets by me on Craigslist... I have a notifier script that sends me a text whenever an item comes up I'm interested in Unfortunately I was out of town when the rock buckets came up. I buy just about EVERYTHING on Craigslist.

Keep 'em coming!

Get on the internet and Google Auction Zip. com. It is the real deal and has auctions listed by your zip code and miles willing to travel. Pictures are great but you also need to read the actual auction listing. Next week near me shows two tractors in the picture section. But listed further in the ad are another ten attachments not pictured. This can be very fun.

Thanks for that tip on www.auctionzip.com/ I've been having issues finding auctions. This looks like it fits the bill. Just need to find one close by selling my cultipacker now.
