I m going to miss watching those sales on YouTube
Are there any other consignment sales around you?

When Ralph Horst sold the consignment auction place he owned in Marion PA he auctioned it off at the last sale.Good part was Jerrold Oaks bought it, renamed it Marion Auction and has
kept it going.

Except for once a year sales, in my area these dont exist anymore.

Around here everybody and their brother is starting a regular consignment sale.

That concept is starting to cool off somewhat. The boom that we saw first with hay then corn, soybeans, etc. got things going pretty good for a while. Now guys don't
have money to upgrade so they are not buying or selling off the junk the dealer did not want to take in on trade. The dealer in Canandaigua has not done a sale for the
past couple of years and the produce auction in Penn Yan has been more off than on the past few years. The other sales have had a big drop in consignments. Even the
Mennonite over by Geneva did not have as much stuff as usual either in the junk rows or to run through the building. Being an auctioneer historically has been a business
equal to having a third job. Bring in enough to take an economical camping trip 50 miles from home for an extended 4th of July. It has gotten back to that for most
auctioneers here. Even the ones flying high will taper off as the guys who were planning to get out at the end of the boom have gotten out so not too much to be sold off
going forward. At least in your areas a farm realtor can make some money and some also do auctioning. Farm realty has fallen off of a cliff here as everybody looking to
buy just pounds on the doors of those they suspect of being ready to sell out so no need for a middle man. Many years ago a farm realtor was a big business man in the
community and regularly traded luxury vehicles.

A fair amount of the iron that goes through the consignment sales is dealer trades that the dealerships don?t want to bother with. You probably have noticed the same thing as I have, the larger dealerships carry very little used/ trade in inventory compared to 20 or more years ago . As mentioned also some of it is from individuals who are getting rid of what the dealer didn?t want in trade.
