Thanks for sharing. I'd love to buy that bench and free that tailgate!!! Last tail gate I posted on kiijij was for $300 and I wrote right in the ad that the second I get an idea the buyer might use it for an art project, I'm demanding they pay me $600 or leave right away. It went to a guy building a COE. There is a god, thankfully.
So how does the auction work? Is it all online? I haven't really looked at the site, other than the pics, I admit.
*edit* Have to be there in-person, as far as I can tell. That's lame. An auctioneer should have online capabilities...It is 2017, after all.

yea, you have to be there live. i am not sure about having these small household/farm auctions on line though. the handling and shipping logistics of that could/would be the biggest hurdle possibly. probably be different if these were done at a central location but they are mostly done on the property and a big majority are in the boonies. he is hired to sell it where is as is and collect the money. now who ships it and for how much money when the items are in somebody's backyard and the sale is over. thats just my thinking though.
-but, you should maybe hit the contact button on his web site and bring that subject up, "An auctioneer should have online capabilities...It is 2017, after all." just to let him know there is interest.
"edit" i can't be there either and there are a couple of things i would like to have a look at. i will be gone fishing up peterborough way for the pickerel opening.
--------humph, go to the auction and possibly stand around in the rain waiting to pay and get my stuff OR go fishing possibly in the rain under the bimini having a grin.---gone fishing-lol

Y shipping issues, good point. Since the main idea of an auction is really to get everything gone ASAP, it makes most sense to have it on site. Well hopefully the family gets some decent coin for the decent stuff, and everything is fair for all parties involved.
