Been watching on and off on the internet. Prices all over the place. Watched cast iron seats go from $50 up to near $1000, with many in the $100 to $200 range. Pallets of John Deere parts the first day seemed to bring an awful lot to me (100's of dollars). Saw a set of John Deere rear spoked rims with no rubber go for $1400. Then there was the usual auction junk which brought what it would at any auction.
Combines usually went for $500 to $600 with a few exceptions. Tractors have ranged so far from $200 for basically piles of tractor parts or stripped down tractors to the highest I've seen (may be higher) for a very large Hart-Parr at a price of $34,500. Seems like the common tractors bring from $250 to $600, with other tractors (rare, steel wheeled, high crops, industrials) usually fetching into the $1000's. Many looked complete, at least in yesterday's auction, so you could find a decent tractor to tinker with for a few hundred dollars if you are not picky about collectability or rarity. Haven't seen many John Deeres sell, most have been International, Oliver, Case, Minneapolis/Twin City, and a few Fords.
Have not did any internet bidding. A little further than I would like to travel (plus I would probably buy too much anyway). Seems like there were a lot more internet bidders yesterday with the better tractors being auctioned off. Would hope that bidding is quicker than the watching. Can't believe a company who does that for their business would not have the bugs worked out. Sometimes will work real-time, other times locks up and looses connection. Even the audio is overloaded.

Today's Featured Article - Uncle Cecil's Super A Lives Again - by Mike Purcell. A week or so out of most of my childhood summers was often spent with my Uncle Cecil and Aunt Sissie in the small East Texas town of Maydelle on their 80 acre farm. Some of my fondest memories of these visits are those of learning to drive a tractor at the helm of Uncle Cecil’s 1948 Farmall Super A. Uncle Cecil was the second owner of this wonderful little tractor, but it was almost as though he had adopted an infant. The original owner was a man from Minnesota who bought her from a local dea
