who knows what the other guy would have kept bidding up to after that. i love to go to farm auctions and it only take one other guy to run the price up. it is amazing one auction they will sell something dirt cheap the next one it will be sky high. i wouldn't worry about it there are always good deals of some sort. one auction i bought a victor journeyman torch on cart with two extra spare bottles for 100.00, i have never seen one sell as cheap as that again. at another auction i saw a newer dodge 4x4 truck with the windshield broke out and a few scratches on the cab sell for 1200, it didn't even have 30,000 miles on it. i should have bought and resold that one. hr
