Auctions, especially for farm equipment prbly aren't the venue for super low deals. Private owner, estate sales, or dealer consignments would prbly get you closer to wholesale if your looking to flip farm equipment. Auctions are a war based on known information, the only guy bidding higher than avg resale is the uneducated or someone who for some reason really wants that particular one. The only caveat to that is if your not at a PUBLIC auction, if you can get into a dealer auction and have the ability to move the equipment to a higher priced market.
