Thanks!

 

I've got my eye out for a GM1600. Part of me would rather buy from a local dealer and build that relational equity over time when something breaks, but I can't pass up a deal. Thanks for posting!

 

Nobody's allowed to bid on the items I'm bidding on. Deal?

Yep, trying to find a 1600 as well. Hopefully a few pop up!

 

Same here. Would be great if people could call what they are looking at and people do not cross bid and get great deals. They are expecting 500 items. I've seen already 20+ flex of different kinds and I so many 1000.

Edit: I would be bidding on the deere ztr

Buy a toro and hit up Jerry Pates Turf. Awesome people for us ATL people.

 

Good luck thinking you have a chance to keep others from bidding. You will unlikely be getting a deal, maybe tighter money during holidays keep the small guy away. These auctions are blown out with dealers.

That said- still going to look. Also willing for a small charge if I get something to grab other atlanta purchases and have them picked up south of the city. I've got a large truck and can tow a big flatbed if needed.

 

I'll be looking for a GM1000 or Baroness LM56 (not sure if these ever show up at Weeks auctions or not).

The GM1000 likely will, in what condition will be the issue. I can't say I've seen a baroness in the past 2-3 years though. Maybe a fairway mower once?

Most of the Baronesses show up randomly throughout the year in smaller auctions/ebay and other resellers. But you never know as we are starting to see more and more of them here recently. I think most of them have been gobbled up by TLF members

I tried for years to buy one, before they got all popular I blew my chance, they were going for under $50. Since then I've tried to watch these auctions and they never have more than a few. Always a bunch of Flex machines but they never seem to have a large supply of 1600's. Two years ago someone on this board went down there and bought up multiple machines for prices I wasn't willing to pay without being there in person and then having to add on the internet fees and shipping. If they get any this year I expect it will be the same type of deal.

 

I will be on the hunt for another 26" Jake with a groomer on it. Condition of the mower itself is not important... Also an all-electric greensmower might interest me, especially if it's a 26". but if it's something I could swap powertrains out with ....

Has anybody setup a "ride-sharing" agreement? Moultrie is a bit of a hike for me (6+ hrs one-way) but I'm certainly interested if someone in the ATL area would be interested in holding my treasure for me for a couple days.

Like I said, if I find and buy something, I'm just south of the airport in ATL, and barring room, etc, have no problem grabbing something as long as it was gone in a reasonable amount of time. Not a ton of storage space!

I might take you up on that offer. I'm in Birmingham, and Atlanta is a much easier drive than Moultrie

 

Any idea on sold prices for GM1000 in recent auctions. They seem to have few with grass catcher and few without. No JD 180 or 260 for now.

The equipment removal deadline is 30 days.

At a previous auction, I purchased a greens mower based on a low price and emotion. It was a rookie mistake and I didn't want to pay to have it shipped. I asked Andy to sell it at the next auction thinking I would take a loss. However, the supply of greens mowers sucked at the next auction. So, I actually made money on that mower with all the fees/taxes included. :shock:

 

Disappointed that there are only 2 Jake walk-mowers to-date. :|

I completely agree with the lack of John Deere as well! However, it will be fun to watch the Toro fans bid up all those newer units. :twisted:

They must be saving all the good stuff for last! :nod:

 

There are still 200 more items to be added.they already put a bunch of JD stuff in though no pictures yet. Lots of fairway mowers.

 

What would yall consider a "deal" on one of those Toro Greensmaster 1000 with the grass catcher?

cheaper than your max bid. :lol:

Expect to compete with dealers/resellers. I believe the days of $300-500 are over since the demand has been higher since this avenue was found by homeowners.

If you are speaking of the 2016 units, I am very interested to see where they close. The turf dealers will probably eliminate any chance of a "deal" on the newer equipment. Michigan Turf Equipment buys a lots of equipment from the annual turf equipment auction.

 

Any idea what prices dealers usually buy the bigger equipment like a triplex for?

Newer units command a premium which is understandable.

The following ad I think is close to a fair price so if you can get a few hundred lower than this you have a deal in my opinion. Keep in mind buying from someone like this gives you the knowledge that mostly the service is done and mower is ready!
