[AT] Antique Tractor & Hit & Miss Engines Sale

Auctions are a huge part of tractor collecting. 



What was that large auction topic that was bombarding the list a month or two ago? I can't remember anyone getting slapped down over that topic? 



Perhaps Raquel should have said something like "Has anyone seen the three wheeled G at WV auction?" 



Or "Anyone going to the Lapp Auction in Lancaster this Sunday?" 



Come to think of it,   what is the large tractor auction in Lancaster? It's usually in February? My father and I would always go. Bergeys? Was that it?  It's been so long since I've been to an auction... I've been paying tuition now for 8 years with two more years to go... I can't wait for my youngest to graduate so I can be a consumer again...   



Maybe new posters should be given a little more slack? 



Regards, 


Will

You guys sure are a grumpy bunch.  It's those kind of mean spirited posts that will kill this list once and for all.  At this point and time, any post is better than none at all.   At least she wasn't pushing male enhancement pills, I've got enough of those to last several lifetimes! 

Enjoy, Joe

As stated, Dave, none of my business.  Control of this list as we all know 
is 100% up to Spencer.  Having said that, I will now say that it rubs my 
fur backwards when folks think they can slip in the back door and nobody 
will notice.  When I see this type activity, I always wonder why anyone 
thinks that taking advantage or being underhanded will make anyone want to 
do business with them.?????????? 

Again, just my 2 cents. 

Charlie V., just another collector, sort of.
