Anyone going? I'm planning to take off work and hopefully pick up my first reel mower.

For those of us that have not been before what are typical sell prices on items? Dirt Cheap or more along the lines of wholesale type pricing?
I bought a JD260 at the last turf auction and believe after fees and taxes I ended up sending weeks around 780 bucks. Then I still had to find a carrier to pick it up and that was around 150 bucks for shipping, so at $930 it wasn't as good of a deal as I had hoped. Add to that I couldn't inspect the item in person and it had some things wrong with it that I had to repair...so, keep all that in mind.

Less than a week away. Anyone else making the drive to Moultrie?
I thought seriously about it. But it's a 6hr drive for me and I don't want to get up at 2am after working a 12hr shift on Monday haha. So I'm probably going to bid online and eat the extra 5% if I buy something. I'll save money on shipping because I don't mind driving down to pick it up, because I can do that at a normal time of day ha. What you hoping to get?

Hoping to get a GM1000. Feel free to PM me if you need anything checked out in person. I've got a spreadsheet I'd be happy to share with you with serial numbers etc on pretty much all the green and red walk mowers I'd be happy to share
(No jacs).

The bidding on the Baroness LM315GM stalled at $750. Then, Weeks paused the online bidding which I have never seen. When bidding resumed, the mower jumped quickly to close at $3,700.

For anyone who attended the auction, any explanation on what happened?

Grabbed one of the last 220e's, wasn't happy about the price considering what the early ones went for. Paid twice as much and didn't get transport wheels or grass catcher (not that I needed them but was hoping the price would be less) live and learn I guess. Seemed one guy was buying up all the walk behind JD's.

Welp. I told myself i wouldn't buy anything this time since i picked up a SL260 last year. Only going to login and check prices. Annnnd I failed. The lawn addiction is too strong! #1034 JD 220E, with grass catcher(ill never use), GTC(ill never use) and transport wheels(a must) for 450$. Kinda high compared to some of the others but im happy.
