Auction Breker Germany - Gasoline Tractor
« on: November 05, 2022, 11:22:46 am »
Today there was an Auction in Germany - they had a very nice model of a gasoline tractor and
some very nice steam engines. Some had a very low hammer price - but you always have to add
buyers premium and shipping/handling.
I could resist and had my finger under control, Arnold ;D

A Titan 10-20 is my dream tractor, one day I will have one… But, I would have loved to have had this one until then!! 😍

Here’s my dad’s cousin’s that he just finished out at a plow day a couple weekends ago

It’s a buyers market nowadays. I ended up with one lot, but had bids on a few.
As Arnold mentioned if one bid $1000 for an item, it will end up costing around $1600 including the 24% premium plus shipping & handling.
