- Hi everyone so today was the really big auction sale for our vintage signs! We put quite a few interesting pieces through and we’re really hoping that they do well. Watch as we see a half million dollars worth of tractors sell and cross our fingers and hope we do well too!

My perfect auction...up close to all the action, didn't spend a dime and had a great time. Thanks for taking us along!
One of the best channels on TH-cam.
Terry Prideaux Thanks Terry :)
Yeah a day in the life of Alex and Melissa is strangely therapeutic!
Enjoyed the tractor auction great job
Fanboy ?
It's nice to see younger people into old tractors. Things use to be better made and simpler to use.
Thanks for taking us along, best part was, when you said that you slept in. Glad to hear you got some extra rest !
As my mom always said "You wouldn't have slept unless you needed it."
Thumbs up for sleeping in!
Venture Out Amen, and he needs more days like that.
Ahh, yes! Sleeping in is my favorite pastime. 😪😪😪
I hope he is eating right and sleeping in more. I was worried about him.
The old snow plane is Sooooooo cool.
Thanks for taking us Alex -Luke's Mom
That was FUN! Some very interesting old tractors! My Grandpa was a farmer in Oklahoma and wore those Big Jim overalls. I’d ride with him on the tractor or just sit on it and pretend to drive it. We’d chase the chickens and climb the hay bales in the barn. Great memories! But alas, then we’d have to go home to the city! Thanks for the adventure, Alex! (I’m really glad you got a little extra rest.).
This was far more entertaining than I thought it would be. The old tractors are really pretty cool! I am glad you were able to move some merchandise too! Cool video!!!
I never would have thought this type of thing would interest me in the least. However, I found myself intrigued and at times felt like I was there as well. Thank you Alex for opening up a whole new world for me. I'm so glad your things did well and my fingers are crossed for that general store. Thanks to for the frequent post.
If James Bond films had existed in the 1930's, I think we would've seen him riding around in one of those snow planes.
When I was a boy, I loved going to farm auctions with my dad. this brought back lots of good memories. Thank you!
It took me until the end to figure out where the auctioneer was! Can't believe Alex has me watching an auction of rare tractors! I didn't even know ppl collected them.
My dad went to auctions all the time. Farm auctions, auction barns, and flea markets. Back when flea markets sold antiques not vegetables, and tee shirts. That's what first drew me to this channel, the antiques. I stay for the adventures 😁
I was a home nurse for an old farmer once and he loved to watch tractor auctions every Saturday morning. I had no idea it was even a thing!
People collect alsorts even bottle tops 😂
I didn’t know people collected this stuff and I didn’t farmers were millionaires.
Hehe, but my what we learn ;)
Every lot, Im sitting here, like, no Alex! You don't need that. LOL!
And here l was thinking l wasn’t interested in tractors ... how wrong l was !! 😀
the auctioneer is awesome. I have been to a few live auctions and it is a talent to be a caller for sure.
oliveoyl64 honestly understood about one word in fifty, I had no idea auctions had such a weird tradition of announcing
Wow.. Didn't know people were this excited about old tractors. I live in Oklahoma and we see these abandoned in fields all the time. Maybe I need to transport them to Canada and sell them.
It's crazy how much they've gone up in price. But the market is pretty complex so just because it is old doesn't mean they're worth a lot.
It's great that you slept in. Helps you heal. Thanks for letting us in on the auction. Money for your store!!!!
This was one of the best since the Potter's House! So proud of you, Alex, for keeping focused on your future goals.
Smashed the like button and watched the commercial. SO EXCITED!!! 😎😎😎
ditto :)
@@bmolitor615He makes a little money off the commercials. Alex is worth it to watch a commercial or two. Great youtuber..
Alex, so glad you "overslept". And we know you don't do that! I'm sorry you got so sick and exhausted from putting your ALL into the Potters House. But it sure was a glorious ride!!!
I also am enjoying this auction. I love old cars, tractors, trucks, etc. Your kids wouldn't go with you, but if I was your kid, which is impossible cause I'm almost 60, I'd have gone in a heartbeat! My dad used to take me to old junk stores and old hardware stores. It was great! And he restored old pickups and cars and He and my Grandad owned a garage and worked there my whole childhood. It was a great amount of fun. Grease is still my favorite smell and the air jackhammer is my favorite sound!!
A year ago I never thought on a Saturday night that I would be watching a tractor auction and truly be enjoying it. Thank you Alex!
Case Eagle bidding was amazing. I wish it had been yours. You reminded me of my brother pumping the crowd when your Red Indian oil sign was up. That is his humor. Made me laugh. Glad it did well.
Lisa B in small city, there are two families with the last name Eagles and they proudly display these eagles on their front lawns. No idea if either family was ever involved with the Case business or not. One year one of the ladies ran a back yard vacation bible school at their home and the invitation she sent out to local kids said to come to the house with the Eagle out front!
@@jordynoleymom funny, because I was thinking how great to display if one's last name was Case.
Good, glad you got extra sleep
Keep up the great work on the channel, I like it a lot. Don' t let the detractors get you down EVER!
Who knew old tractors were so interesting? Those machines had some history. Glad it was a good day for you.
26:30 when they prime that thing up... I have basically ZERO mechanical interest, but OMG my heart was in my mouth as they say!! what a piece of crazy machinery! so much fun with Curiosity Inc!
B molitor Me too! I can’t think of anything less interesting in my real life, but Alex’s enthusiasm just makes it so much fun!
AWESOME ADVENTURE!!
I have never been to a live auction. Thank you for the experience!! 👍🏼
Oh, boy! Doesn't matter what's selling; that bug can get ya.
Our local 4-H has a pie auction during a taco dinner each year. I'll be damned if I don't spend 40 bucks on a blueberry pie every stinkin' time! lol
@@debbieomi But just keep on telling yourself the money is going to a good cause. I hope it was some really good blueberry pie.
@@suzannejensen275 It was pretty darn tasty! :-)
@@debbieomi One of the neighborhood churches had a deserts auction fundraiser to send kids to camp. They said cakes and pies sold for $100 to $200 dollars and one cake went for $300. The school used to have a lot of bake sales but all the health regulations they have now you have to get permits to sell food. OMG even kids are supposed to get a permit to have a lemonade stand. I think that's a bit crazy. A couple of years ago two little girls had a sale to raise money to buy their dad a fathers day gift but the city gave them ticket for having it without a permit it was so sad the girls were crying. It made want to cry but I was so mad at the ones that gave them the ticket.
I would never have thought that I would love a video about a tractor auction!! I watched initially to see how the signs that Alex brought in sold. But, the old tractors were fascinating! I couldn't believe they got them to run and what marvels of engineering they were!
I never thought I would choose to spend 40 minutes watching a tractor auction. It was fascinating! 😊
I'm not into old tractors, or old signs for that matter, but watched to the end. I found myself practically biting my nails when your things were being sold. I'm so glad you got decent prices!!
This channel makes me happy, always makes me smile.
"Not so grandstand"!!! Hahahaha Soo glad you slept in, you needed that extra sleep!!
That auctioneer reminded me of my Grandpa Hans. He was a square dance caller! Lol 💜
I used to love to square dancing it's important to have a good caller.
9:00 am.!!! 👍👍You needed that.😀 I really enjoyed seeing those old tractors, each one with it's own rhythmic sound, thanks for sharing.
30:16 This is going to be me and my friends in 50 years huddled around an old ThinkPad trying to get the BIOS to reflash.
Edit: j/k don't have friends
Looks like you have 64 likes on your comment. That counts as new friends. Oh, and enjoy your auction in 50 years. 👴🏽👵🏼
so funny!
Don't worry as friends are vastly overrated 😂
Erik Pukinskis
Well, I still remember floppy disks. And cassette players. And living without a mobile phone and the internet. Times do change 😄
@@raraavis7782 I remember using payphones to ring my friends!
Watching this from UK, great to see the vintage vehicles, and pleased your things sold 💖🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧💖
I love your auction videos! Thanks Alex, for taking us along for the ride =)
can't believe that I watched a tractor auction. Yay! Who even knew this existed? Thanks for taking us on this ride. A great way to sip coffee on a Sunday morning!
Thank you so much for taking us along on this fun field trip! So great!! 😃
You made my day with this video. My fav sports event is the Indy 500, so you know I loved seeing all these old vehicles running! That old tractor that had to be primed! Loved that, & well, all of them. So happy you slept in late today. Take care & thanks!!!!!!!!!!
What an inspirational knowledgeable man you are with a beautiful supportive wife and family ...you are truly on the road to becoming a great leader❤️❤️🇦🇺❤️🇦🇺❤️🇦🇺❤️🇦🇺❤️🇦🇺❤️🇦🇺❤️come to Australia for a holiday we would love to have you and the family stay
Good move on the Nash. New store is more important right now. Proud of you. ☺
Wow I can’t thank you enough for taking us to the auction. That was a blast. Love seeing the old tractors and the signage. Alex you may not realize how much pleasure you bring to people with your selfless sharing, but I for one thank you so very much. You bring sunshine into my day........Thank You
Thanks for the walk down memory lane. My dad used to take us to the antique tractor auctions. He's been gone for 25 years now and I'd forgotten how much fun they can be.
"you never see them"...lol love it.
Brings back so many memories, I spent my childhood going to gas engine shows. My dad use to restore and show them, pretty cool
I really enjoyed this auction. Outdoor, fresh air and cool machines! What could be better? Thanks for filming it!
We’ve got something similar near here in Illinois called Historic Farm Days. This auction caller has more style, though.
We just had our annual Heritage Truck Show this weekend and my dad had a Fordston Major 1942 and a 1964 Fordston Super Major on display. Both fully restored and run like a dream
That snow plane is the scariest vehicle ever. My Dad would've loved to have been there. He loved old tractors and steam engines.
Amazing, that Harley can would have gone for so much more near where I live.
I don’t normally watch tractor shows but I couldn’t stop watching this one. Took my mind off our tornado damage here today. Glad you got some rest. Thx for sharing.
Sandi Roberts Tornado damage! I hope that everyone is safe on your end ❤️
Melissa Archbold yes we are fine, thank you. Tore our privacy fence down and my neighbors roof off and huge tree fell on their fence and tore one side of it down. Supposed to have more tornadoes the next 3 days. We could use a prayer or two. 😬😬
Yikes hope you’re ok
Curiosity Incorporated AOK!! Thx so much. We were very lucky.
ok i got all caught up in the excitement of the bidding for the red Indian sign and then a commercial ... ugggh ... great auction ... :)
I love old tractors. Cool video, thanks!
LOVE the sound of those old tractors!!!! And thank you for putting what they went for up before they moved to the next item that was really cool knowing how much they sold for.
If anyone told me I would be watching a video on tractor auctions, I would have laughed, but here I am having a great time!! That little yellow Durandt and the red Nash were just awesome!!
You proved you are strong Alex. Not getting caught in the auction fever, so easy in that environment. At least you got some rest, which obviously your body needed as you look better for it, well rested, and therefore able to think with a clear head. Good day for you and may you have many more still coming. Looking forward to more adventures with you and Melissa and family and you go forth on your pursuit of your OLDE WORLDE SHOPPE.
am 70. my Dad loved the auctions...so glad they still continue
Glad for you!
One more step on the ladder!!!!
I watched in great fascination. Imagine that. Glad to see your stuff going at an auction. Too bad about the red Nash! Alex, you are the most interesting vlogger. Thanks for a great time!
While stationed in England in 1977 I went to a steam engine rally.. it was much like this. Starting up the steam powered tractors and trucks was so great to see. Technology before technology was a word.
Great episode! I really felt the auction fever....You did very well to resist! 👍👍
Thanks for showing us the auction. It brings back many happy memories.
Amazing auction and crowd. Very cool.
Alex, great video. If you loved that old 1917 tractor, you'll probably love a British 1960's movie called The Iron Maiden, released in the US as The Swinging Maiden! 🙄
It is romcom but it is all centered around an old restored steam tractor and the tractor races that they used to have. It's a fun and fabulous movie. Please try to find it. I'm sure you'll love it.
OMG That was awesome!! I really liked the people who started the engines and took the bids it was exciting and I was pulling for you all the way, I am glad you did well. AWESOME!!!!
My first farm auction....surprised what sold and for how much. Learn something new everyday.
I doubt I would ever go to a tractor sale, but with you taking me I enjoyed the day out! Thank you! Glad you were able to sell your stuff to help with your next project.
My Dad would have loved that auction. I was practically climbing into my screen willing that big tractor to start. The one with the older gent cranking it. I hope those old timers are passing down their amazing skills to younger people. Hope there's some young dudes wanting to learn. Thanks for my day out in the country of Alberta CA.
Thanks Alex!!! Loved seeing the tractors- listening to the sound of those engines was even better. My dad would have loved this... I got to enjoy it for him. Thanks again.
Took me back in a number of ways, the old tractors reminded me of going to the fair with my dad for the tractor pulls and my grandparents farm, and the auctions because I used to work in an antique and auctiton house.. thank you.
Thanks for taking us to the auction with you. I miss going to auctions. My uncle and I use to go to them all the time. Your video brought back many happy memories. Thank you so much.
When that old 1917 tractor fired up, I actually appluaded at the screen. SO good to see it go, and you're very right - the old technology was much simpler, but you couldn't kill it.
Loved this episode. In PA Mountains they have alot of things like this. My fav. is called the Ole Timers including tractor pulls, the ole farmers are brutal with each other. There is crowd control there also. It is mostly steam enjine displaying ect. Gud I love hearing those enjines, also shake shingle making, ect.... all done with steam enjine. So much fun. Also other things... auctions, quilting the ole way, butter making, chainsaw wood carving art, FOOD... lots of fun. O and a small scale train for rides and horse and buggys to get ya around if needed. Also FLEA Market tables. Itz a blast. All ole tools, sharpen stones, washers ect.
Brought a tear to my eye, Alex. My grandpa Harry traveled all over Sask. in the 1920s taking promo shots for the provincial government’s publication department. I have some of his original 8x10 prints of crews out threshing with the then marvels of modern farming but also horse drawn outfits. Harry was a rather proper Englishman but he wasn’t in Canada but a few months before he ditched his planned shopkeeping apprenticeship to join a threshing crew. His family back home were horrified! He never looked back. Studied Agriculture at Winnipeg and Saskatoon, had a 1/4 section near Wiwa Hills, instructor on the Better Farm Train, etc. “Farming is what Canada is all about.” You are so right, the technology was simple but oh so effective!Thanks, Alex. Enjoyed the trip down memory lane.
I can remember my grampa and uncles threshing oats when I was little. One of my uncles was on a custom threshing crew for a year or so.
I am in love with big gigantic case tractor, what a beauty! ❤️❤️❤️
my great Aunt lived across the street from an old tractor mechanical mart. Guy had dozens of old tractors he had restored or wanted to restore. Never knew which one he would fire up and drive in the hometown parades. All gone now that he has passed away. Great memories though.
Brings back memories when I used to go to farm auctions, Thanks for taking us along
Antique tractors are a huge hit in the US
My grandpa used to take me to auctions when I was a little girl. Thank you for the trip down memory lane
You slept in!! Awesome! I love the sound of an auctioneer but rarely understand what they are saying ha! There was some cool stuff there the old tractors were really fascinating all that history :) I'm glad you made some money and didn't spend any... soon enough you'll have the store! :)
We had a green International Pu. I learned to drive in. Dad said we had to learn to drive a stick first, before we could drive the car. I loved that truck .
I really enjoyed this video. Seeing all those oldies still working. Amazing.
Glad u slept in. Glad u videoed the auction. Even more glad that u didn't get the Nash. I want to see you get that general store, nothing else should get in your way, no other distractions, Rehab projects or debts.
Omgosh, that old tractor. Running, love it. Thanks so much, really loved this video. Love how they started all the 🚜 s. And drove them. Crazy good. Lol, love it..
I know nothing about cars or tractors but yo made me watch because your excitement was infectious 😆. You sound a lot better too so here’s to sleeping in 👍🏾
I loved this just because I love old tractors. I used to go to the Old Thresher's Reunion with my dad every year. I loved it.
Loved the old tractors. Thanks for taking us along. You need more sleep ins Alex.
Glad you are feeling a bit better- the public arena of You Tube can be a pretty rough place sometimes. You are a kind, decent person, so don't let the trolls get you down! I am a bit of a hoarder, and I have found your unquenchable enthusiasm, hard work and persistence so inspiring. You are a great role model for people all around the world facing the need to be steadfast in facing our own personal challenges. Keep up the good work!
It was fun to see the auction, it has been a long time since I have been to one but the old auction excitement is still there. Thanks, Alex for taking us along for the ride.
Makes me miss going to auctions with my dad... Thanks for posting.
There are so many of those vehicles I would love to buy!
WOW, what an interesting vlog. Amazing. I am glad you did well on the items you had in the auction. Take Care.
Glad you slept in. You look better. 🌷
Cool to watch. I’ve always wanted to go to auctions but didn’t know how they worked. Some of those tractors look hand built. Crazy! Way to go selling your items!
You look less tired. Keep it up...sleeping that is. Selling can come along too.
I’m 64 years old. My dad used to take me to livestock auctions when I was a small girl! This brings back memories! What a slice of life for this old (now) urban dweller!
EXCELLENT VIDEO! Imagine sitting in front of the gas tank in that snow plane! If you sprung a leak you'd be like a comet doing 150mph across a frozen lake. Auctioneering by Committee. How many people were taking Bids at the same time; crazy funny.
Thanks for taking us to the auction! I love auctions, just wish my pockets were deeper LOL
Beverly Hall you have my mom exact name Beverly Hall wow
Thanks Alex, this reminded me of my childhood when they used to hold what they called "Steam Rallies". People who owned tractors and engines run on steam gathered for a weekend, ran the machine, had tractor races etc.. I always loved them (I was always the tomboy)
What a fantastic and unique auction! Thanks for taking us along!
That snow plane was so COOL! My grandparents lived on what was later named Red Rock Lakes National Wildlife Refuge, in Montana in the 1950's. They were very remote and of course it snowed like anything. Their mail was delivered by snow plane whenever they could get out there. I had never thought to look one up and didn't know what they looked like exactly, but they had described it to us. My grandpa was instrumental in the study of the Trumpeter Swan with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which is why they lived out there.
