[AT] Auction Action!

[Ralph Goff]

Grant, thanks for the auction update. I was wondering how it went.
I bet Thursday night's frost might have had some effect on the bidding.
That 930 was a real steal at 1500. The Cockshutt 30 too. I watched a rusty
but fine running 30 sell for nearly $1000 this spring. The JD AR only proved
my theory that green paint seems to bring more dollars. I've seen it before.
I've also got one just like it in my shed so its good to know what others
sell for.
Sounds like it was a day well spent for you.

Ralph in Sask.
