[AT] Bridgeport Nebraska auction

[william.neff.powell at comcast.net]

Yes, many will probably go for scrap. 

How many people will want to spend the time to go to NE, buy a tractor, and then pay to have it transported...? Hopefully they will advertise it well.

We have a local large auction in PA, Beilers? I think I missed it this year, but at that auction there are many scrap dealers bidding.... I remember on large  rough Oliver dozer that went for about $250 to a scrap guy, the auctioneer said its going to the right place, and I agreed with him, it really was junk.

Maybe the auctioneer will get smart and list some of them on-line or on ebay at the same time to save some of them from the melting pot. 

Will in PA
