Here's mine!

 

Ok so all this is new to me. I submitted a quote to Trinity for shipment. I may just drive down but that would be a long day and I have to get it by 10/01. Will weeks be able to tell me weight and do they pallet it up and all that. I haven't reached out to them yet. Been a crazy afternoon

They don't weigh them so for mine I just googled the manufactured weight and tacked on 25lbs. To be safe. As far as pallets, seems to be hit or miss. They say they don't do it, but have seemed to help everyone out and put them on pallets. I would call to make sure they will have some available though.

 

@asagers how much did you get the JD for

I wish. That would have been a steal. Based on serial mines a 2005

 

Got a toro 1000. Looks like it's a 96-98. Anyone else in SC win anything?

 

Why yes I did. Bought a JD180sl. I hope to go pick it up Friday.

 

So does the auction do "proxy bidding"? So you say for a lot I want to max spend 1K, but the second highest bidder is $100

 

So I win the bid at 101 or 1K?

You would win at like $110 provided no one outbid you. Or that was how the old auction site worked. I haven't tried this new one.

I wanted to play in this auction but I spent my play money getting the triplex sharpened and new thick bed knives installed.

Did all those other ones go for a similar price? How did you decide on which one to bid on? I watched those Toro's all week but chickened out and also couldn't figure out what they max out at for HOC.

 

@asagers how much did you get the JD for

Won the auction at $250. Add their 10% fee and 8% sales tax and ended up at $297.

 

@Jayray the others went for around $140-170. They all looks similar from the pics.

Mine came strapped to a pallet. But I did not do auction, I bought it from them. Ask Weeks for a shipping quote. They can give you a quote for the shipper they use. That way you just pay them and youre done. You dont have to deal with 3rd party shipper triangulation.

Here's mine!

You SL looks like it has the EZ height adjuster too. Mine and most I have seen have the old style. Basically a $10,000 mower for $250. LOL Crazy.

 

They won't ship to a residential home, so do you know any other logistics company that you could recommend?

They were willing to ship to my front door. That option was more expensive though. If you know somebody that has a loading dock or work somewhere that does that option is cheaper.

Weeks uses ABF Freight as their shipping company. ABF has a hub in every major city. You just go to your local ABF hub with a pickup truck, trailer or U Haul and they will put it in the back with a forklift.

Hey, I think I am going to need to jump on this bandwagon at next auction. Did you negotiate this shipping with weeks directly or with ABF?

 

So I win the bid at 101 or 1K?

I took part in this last one. :thumbup:
---You can "click to bid" or set a "Max Bid" or a "Custom Bid" . Max bid will incrementally increase if someone else bids until your limit is reached. If someone bids past your limit they become the high bidder. If no one bids or they stop bidding before you limit is reached, you will win. You can also PRE-Bid....this started a couple days before I think. So you could go through and set your limits on whatever lots you want.
---The custom bid is if you want to jump it past their normal increase amounts for the next bid. They seemed to be smaller increments for lower amounts, and go up as the bid total goes up.
---The auctions go in order of lot number and are set to end every 2 minutes. If someone submits a bid while its under the 2 minute mark, the time jumps back up to 2 minutes.
---FWIW, this was my first time with them and I called Andy several times with various questions and he was super accommodating. He did mention that the December turf equip auction is "Dealer Only"

****EDIT**** The December Turf Auction is *NOT* Dealer Only for BUYERS...The average Joe can buy. Dealers are the only ones that can sell. He also said it's going to be huge and they already have 1300 items. Last years started ~9am and went to midnight.

 

Boo.

Weeks had some mowers posted on their website for sale. I called Andy at Weeks and told him to pick out the best one. He asked if I had shipping arranged I said no. He said to give him my zip and he can give me a quote through ABF who they use. I agreed on the shipping price, overnighted a cashier check for the mower and shipping (they dont take cards). Three days later my wower was on a truck, and about 3 days later it arrived and I went and picked it up. It was really painless and easy.
