You were at Keith Gerweck’s farm auction in Falls City,Nebraska. I’ve known Keith for maybe 15 years he died in February. The way you saw the farm is the way it has been when he had the milk cows and worked the farm. He was a bachelor. Like you said when someone like Keith passes we lose a lot
It was driven to that spot from the shed but was very used up. Under hood wiring looked like chopped up spaghetti. They said the transfer case was loose - could be a simple mount, or something cracked or broken for a more major repair. That's what scared people off the most.

9700 for that truck, even clean as it is, is still almost double what it's really worth. And $5,100 for that Cutlass is just way beyond ridiculous... That's at best a $1,500 car.

Not at all. You are not taking advantage of someone's misfortune by purchasing stuff at an estate auction or sale. What you're doing instead is putting a little bit of much-needed cash into some elderly widow's pocket, a few bucks in the auctioneer and his employee's pockets, and helping clean up an old piece of real estate to help it along to whatever's next, not to mention having fun and picking up stuff cheap that will do you some good. If no one bought the stuff, it would go to the landfill. If she's normal, this guy's widow has less than zero interest in her deceased husband's rusty tractors and collapsing barns full of junk. So go forth with a clear conscience and spend like you mean it.

Whenever I suggest to people they could sell their excess stuff themselves, either on feebay, marketplace or an fb group or some other way, they usually look at me like I'm nuts. So many people just don't ever sell stuff. They just die and let someone else sell it all!
Just like you said, those prices were from one end to the Spectrum to the other. Some crazy low and some crazy high, such as a 1985 Olds Cutlass, can't believe someone paid over 5 grand for that.. and as usual, you have a great eye for spotting stuff. Those motorcycles sold for way more than I thought they were worth
My guy was happy with the Yamaha even though it is seized. I thought the Harley was overpriced for what it was, but again, the guy who bought it thought it was great
That Olds Cutlass is the sister vehicle to the (super hot right now) '85-'87 Pontiac Grand Prix that I've seen go for $20k same panels, same interior, same V6.
@@VillaBellaHome In the mid-1980s virtually no American car had balls. It was either a Mustang 5.0....or a Vette....or a Buick Grand National and/or Buick T-Type. Now, that being said, there were a few good-looking coupes that weren't nearly as fast as they looked...but...they looked good, for sure. The Cutlass 4-4-2.....the Monte Carlo SS....and the Buick Regal.....were all good-looking cars. For sure. I had a 1986 Cutlass Supreme...and I had drove it for 12 years.....I liked it, but didn't love it......and if I had the chance to buy one now.....I wouldn't pay 10, 12, 14 grand for one. They were good cars....but they weren't that good.
I love those old swing fender Dodge Trucks I bet it was a 413 big block in that thing being a 1972 but I could be wrong it could be a B series big block like a 361 but I don't think they made 361 cu in in the 70's it's too bad the pass side fender is mangled up
1460 IH Axial rotary combine I think came out in '78 or '79. New Holland was next then Gleaner while I was at college. First New Holland was a TR70. Gleaner was the N5. AL B.
Apparently based on what they brought the guys plan to put them back to use, or at least take parts from them to fix other machines. They seem like dinosaurs, especially considering the massive corporate acreages that are farmed in that area
@@mr.goodpliers6988 For the money paid, I would cut it up and get my pound price for it. The Dozer probably didn't go, because of the cost to move that. That thing is going to need a LowBoy, or better yet a RGN trailer. Those guys charge a pretty penny to move that. Somewhere I suspect in the neighborhood of $2500 to $4000. They are a specialty transporter. I might consider cutting that dozer up with a torch, where it sits, if they would let me, but I don't think they would let me. There is enough weight there to warrant removal if the destination is nearby.
I'm a Texan grew up on farm and ranch there until I was 10 Mom married my stepdad. Life changing time. In 1980 My wife and I moved to her home in Nebraska...back in time again.. Had a bar, restaurant and liquor store in a small town outside of Lincoln.. Business was doing great.. could not take it. So depressing..big million bucks farmers loans put all the backbone of America farms out of business..SAD these auctions are everywhere there. So Sad 😢😢😢😢😢
That would have been my pick, not too much work and you can get it on the road. Being a manual box to me is a plus but then I'm in Europe where don't understand auto boxes, in particular Powerglides😉 Heck I'd try and find an overdrive box for it (if it doesn't have one already) or even convert to 5sp, front disc brakes and drive it every day...
That 86 cutlass was a salon which would have all the same handling package as a 442 and likely was a 307 V8. At 50k miles and in desirable black I know I will be the only one to feel that way but that car was very well bought.
I am not sure well bought at $5100, maybe cheaper. Car needs work, and the high end price is around $10,000-$12,000. Not much meat there. I would have been a player at $1000-$2000
I think the bargain of the sale, was a split between the 49 Dodge pickup, with the deluxe windows, or the Cabover Chev grain hauler. I liked the Sun analyzer and I have a smaller, earlier, bench top model, as well as a complete, working, Peerless analyzer. I love those old time analysers, and actually used a few different Sun models in the early 60s. It is interesting to see how much history was in view at that old farm.
IH mounted corn picker 5 bucks, Allis HD11 for 15 bucks, those would have been good deals for me! I did come up from Indiana to near Crete, Nebraska a few years ago and got a 1947 Allis WC tractor for 1200 at an auction, then got it at a later date truckin thru. That was about 2010. Saw all kinds of stuff all over Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, Dakotas etc.
The motor in the Dodge 600 was a 413 industrial. Good engine under appreciated and pretty heavy duty. Better than the RV 440. They built them until 1979.
As far as prices high or low, it don't matter to the person buying a item. For what ever reason the buyers have to pay for what they want and kudos to them being able to. I grew up on the Farmall 1066 and 766 both of which were maintained on a regular basis, and ran like champs.
Not surprised by the values as we have an administration that does not value farmers. We all need to get off the couch and vote on November 5th, register now!
TH-cam’s algorithm said I might like this and it was spot on! Poured myself a cup of coffee and thoroughly enjoyed my morning watching this video. Thanks for posting. New subscriber.
Heck even that barn was gold, three chicken coups. If you paint or lacquer the wood you get pristine 3d grain. Nice dry lumber in the attic, it's hardly available even, would make a lot of granddads happy.
My aunt and her husband, he died at 99 years old and she was in her 80s like 89 somewhere than there they had a lot of cars they had cars that’s in the garage cap Chevrolet 55 Chevrolet so all old cars some of them was in the woods Like 8200 of them in the woods some still have bought and our cars are when they’re in the woods. Some was good some well in order anyways here’s what happened. He had a garage with a big garage. Had John Deere tractors from the biggest John Deere tractor to the smallest 99 Ellicott city Maryland that’s where he had his land. They had some guy cutting the grass for him every two weeks or so on my uncle. He passed on at 99 years old. The guy came to my grandma and asked her. Can he sold the cars for her She said I guess so so he took it. She didn’t let no family members know at all we went up there all the cars was gone. I don’t think she got any money out of deal but she told me she was selling every car for $500 or less. I said aunt Martha that was crazy. Summon them cars work a lot of money especially the ones with garage cap. Oh my gosh, yeah the 755 Chevrolet Ford Dodgers, all kinds of cars and trucks he used to sell fruits and vegetables on the side of road making real good money he never put his money in the bank, his house look like the Addams family house when he died a week later on moving truck that night while my grandma was asleep, she heard a noise. She looked out the window he had built. Yeah, he had a brand new house built for her, but he lived in the Addams family house was falling apart. He didn’t believe him and putting his money in the bank. He Musta had a lot of money stacked away in the house in the walls and other places he had to if we didn’t put his money in the bank is making good money every single day he had two fruit stands get back to what I was saying the moving truck pulled up at night time probably like 1230 at night. My grandma looked out the window between her and his house. They had pine trees put there enough to where you could barely see her to his house, but somebody clean her somebody clean his house with all his belongings he had old antique furniture. He had it all she got up the next day. It was all gone. That was crazy man so we don’t know if the guy cut a grass has something to do with that or not, good thing good thing my grandmother said that she took and took him to the bank to deposit all his money in the bank, but she knows he had gold coins shit load of them still in the house Yeah they had the coins in their house, gold silver coins, old coins from him having his first stand he had tons of change heads somewhere in the house, but I wish she would’ve got us supper to take a metal protector through the house before she had a demolition crew come out there and tear it down I don’t know why for some reason she did not call any of the family members to let us know about. It was so crazy. What I can’t get out of my head is autumn cars I used to play on as a kid to the last time I was up there. I’ve been up there like a week before he died in the garage. Oh my God he had cars that look like it just came off the floor, Fairlanes and other shades 5557 Chevrolet and so on the brand new just came off the show floor yeah came back. They was gone. She don’t even know where they went. I was like are you kidding me? I asked her does she still have all the titles, I think so. Yeah, they was in his house while they’re gone and I think the same person can’t blame it on him, but it probably was the guy cut her grass guy. Yes, stored her car and sold them all and probably one in a house with the moving truck that night at 12 something at night took all his antiques furniture because he knows he’s been in there plenty of times that.
I was thinking the same thing. That was very well equipped for a farm. When I was a kid there was a farm near us where they also had a shop that worked on cars and farm equipment. I would love to have that old Sun engine analyzer in my shop. I used one similar to that back in the 1980’s.
A homemade air compressor using a refrigerator Freon compressor with an electric motor. I had one many years ago, there was also one in the shop class in my old high school.
Love that old blue Chevy truck! Didn't catch the year....64? Anyway, I bet it's in such nice shape because it wasn't his farm truck, it was his goin' to town rig! Thanks for taking us along. What a great bunch of stuff. Dang! It was a 66 and went for $9700.00? That's steep!
I believe they said it was a '66. It was a straight short bed with nearly no rust that would have run with a little tinkering. If it were a big window Custom cab with two tone paint, factory V8 automatic, and chrome bumpers & grille it might have brought $20k
@@mr.goodpliers6988 Oil rag no-restore finish, manual six.15k in perfect running order, sold within 3 days. Frugality has its own apppeal and they are buying it like hot cakes, just as the Internationals.Saw them parked at golfclubs, ok twice.
Unless you had a 4-4-2.....two-tone paint...bucket seats.....shift on the console....etc etc....then....an '86 Cutlass ain't worth that much. I had one...just a Cutlass Supreme.---Hard top (no Landau garbage). Gun metal gray......in and out. Nice rims. But.....the 307 had no balls.....it was slow....and ate gas. Yes, the 307 was reliable....and the tranny was good/solid....but....overall, it was a completely unremarkable car.
As far as I know a 2 door is a coupe , and a 4 door is a sedan. At least that’s what my dad told me. What an awesome property and sale. lol , I had to laugh , you were surrounded by hemp. When you were looking at the Ranchero 500. Good stuff back in the day and a darn shame they don’t use it more often. Ok I see it everywhere. My buddies farm in Dixon Illinois has it the whole town has it everywhere , I mean everywhere. Wow we used that exact sun analyzer in high school at auto trade school. In 1983
The international truck was pretty cheap. Cool to see the old truck picking up the tractors. What a neat property, I'm like you, would have loved to seen photos of it from it's heyday! Looks like the hunting would be great! Didn't know about the prestone gasoline can! Thanks for the education again!!!
Kind of glad we don't have sales like that much here in the UK, the cabover, the 39-47 Dodge, the 51 Chevy, so much temptation (I'm guessing this place was in the middle of nowhere mind)
Surprisingly it was just 100 miles from Lincoln, and 100 miles from Omaha. The market is very slow right now but there are always a few people around with deep pockets, and on occasion two show up at a sale who both want the same thing
This seems like either someone was raised by the depression generation or lived the great depression. People like this are hard to find in the world we live in where everyone is hyper specialized.
For the Red tractor and machine guys, they were IH tractors, even if it did say Case IH! The binder pickup was cheap enough but it looked like every panel on it was dented. I could hardly believe what the C10 and 49 Dodge pickups brought, some people must have really wanted them. The AC dozer was a bargain if a guy needed one and had the time and skill to fix it, otherwise it was a good deal for a scraper. All the tractors seemed a bit high and the cars too. The D600 Dodge was cheap even if it didn't run. I suspect you had a good time watching, as did I. Thanks!
I agree, the Case moniker was only a name. The dozer did get loaded out of there by someone from Kansas. It landed on Facebook Marketplace for a couple weeks for $1500, then would be heading to scrap if no takers. Not every day a fella gets a chance at an item with a 1000% markup! A deal like that looks fantastic on the front end, but on the back you have to realize how much the guy would need to have tied up in equipment, trailer and truck to move it, and it is less of a wild deal considering that
The 5 grand for the 80s Cutlass is about what it cost new! I bought a 1970 Oldsmobile 442 new, ordered by my dad from the dealer, while I finished my tour of duty in Viet Nam, cost me 4200.00 delivered to the dealer!

Thank you! God bless you!! Yeah, the person who paid $5,700 for the Cutlass....I began to openly weep for him when I heard that price!! So sad!
Yes, the price on that Cutlass was crazy.
That Olds Cutlass is the sister vehicle to the (super hot right now) '85-'87 Pontiac Grand Prix that I've seen go for $20k same panels, same interior, same V6.
@@VillaBellaHome In the mid-1980s virtually no American car had balls. It was either a Mustang 5.0....or a Vette....or a Buick Grand National and/or Buick T-Type.
Now, that being said, there were a few good-looking coupes that weren't nearly as fast as they looked...but...they looked good, for sure. The Cutlass 4-4-2.....the Monte Carlo SS....and the Buick Regal.....were all good-looking cars. For sure. I had a 1986 Cutlass Supreme...and I had drove it for 12 years.....I liked it, but didn't love it......and if I had the chance to buy one now.....I wouldn't pay 10, 12, 14 grand for one.
They were good cars....but they weren't that good.
Cool video not a waste of time thanks for putting this out i can remember the old snow tires some of them had studs
I would have bought that cab over !! went cheap !! great video Mr Goodpliers.
You made great memories with your Dad
I love those old swing fender Dodge Trucks I bet it was a 413 big block in that thing being a 1972 but I could be wrong it could be a B series big block like a 361 but I don't think they made 361 cu in in the 70's it's too bad the pass side fender is mangled up
1460 IH Axial rotary combine I think came out in '78 or '79. New Holland was next then Gleaner while I was at college. First New Holland was a TR70. Gleaner was the N5. AL B.
Apparently based on what they brought the guys plan to put them back to use, or at least take parts from them to fix other machines. They seem like dinosaurs, especially considering the massive corporate acreages that are farmed in that area
The Gleaner was sold retail In limited production in 1978
@@mr.goodpliers6988 For the money paid, I would cut it up and get my pound price for it. The Dozer probably didn't go, because of the cost to move that. That thing is going to need a LowBoy, or better yet a RGN trailer. Those guys charge a pretty penny to move that. Somewhere I suspect in the neighborhood of $2500 to $4000. They are a specialty transporter. I might consider cutting that dozer up with a torch, where it sits, if they would let me, but I don't think they would let me. There is enough weight there to warrant removal if the destination is nearby.
I'm a Texan grew up on farm and ranch there until I was 10 Mom married my stepdad. Life changing time. In 1980 My wife and I moved to her home in Nebraska...back in time again.. Had a bar, restaurant and liquor store in a small town outside of Lincoln.. Business was doing great.. could not take it. So depressing..big million bucks farmers loans put all the backbone of America farms out of business..SAD these auctions are everywhere there. So Sad 😢😢😢😢😢
That 61' lmpala is going to clean up nicely.
That would have been my pick, not too much work and you can get it on the road. Being a manual box to me is a plus but then I'm in Europe where don't understand auto boxes, in particular Powerglides😉 Heck I'd try and find an overdrive box for it (if it doesn't have one already) or even convert to 5sp, front disc brakes and drive it every day...
@@tturtle1659 Power glide was the original automatic transmission for Chevy's and Pontiac's. From 1950 to the mid 70's.
@@mt3311 I know, I just find the idea of a 2sp auto strange, plus I don't like auto boxes...
@@tturtle1659 I had a '69 Chevelle once with a 350 and one of those. It just didn't feel right.
Who else got a lil spooked when the bikes fell over?? 👻
That 86 cutlass was a salon which would have all the same handling package as a 442 and likely was a 307 V8. At 50k miles and in desirable black I know I will be the only one to feel that way but that car was very well bought.
No, it wasn't. That person is a crack addict. They paid way too much for it.
I am not sure well bought at $5100, maybe cheaper. Car needs work, and the high end price is around $10,000-$12,000. Not much meat there. I would have been a player at $1000-$2000
Wrong!
@@Mr-er6fg Me?
I think the bargain of the sale, was a split between the 49 Dodge pickup, with the deluxe windows, or the Cabover Chev grain hauler.
I liked the Sun analyzer and I have a smaller, earlier, bench top model, as well as a complete, working, Peerless analyzer. I love those old time analysers, and actually used a few different Sun models in the early 60s. It is interesting to see how much history was in view at that old farm.
This auction was actually in my so to say back yard!!! I could not make it to the sale. My buddy baught the cab over.
The compressor is electric and the tank is the air holding tank homemade air compressor. Great videos I watch them all great job !!!
Yes! good job! I would have never figured that out but now it makes sense. Thanks
Very educational have a 46 Chevy flat bed 3/4 time enjoy truck stuff and I learned a lot on top of looking at beautiful stuff 90 sir
I remember those 72 Ford cop cars all over michigan, thanks Tim
IH mounted corn picker 5 bucks, Allis HD11 for 15 bucks, those would have been good deals for me! I did come up from Indiana to near Crete, Nebraska a few years ago and got a 1947 Allis WC tractor for 1200 at an auction, then got it at a later date truckin thru. That was about 2010. Saw all kinds of stuff all over Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, Dakotas etc.
The motor in the Dodge 600 was a 413 industrial. Good engine under appreciated and pretty heavy duty. Better than the RV 440. They built them until 1979.
As far as prices high or low, it don't matter to the person buying a item. For what ever reason the buyers have to pay for what they want and kudos to them being able to.
I grew up on the Farmall 1066 and 766 both of which were maintained on a regular basis, and ran like champs.
Hi. You are very knowledgeable. Thank you. Stay safe out have a wonderful day. 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️😎😎😎
It is amazing how well Mr. Goodpliers films most others here on Y/T will give you vertigo.

The lumber you left in the barn loft would bring big cash here in north Texas! Way more than what you’ll get for the steelie mismatch wheel set
I saw the value up there for sure. Some old growth and rough hewn, good stuff. We've got stacks of it already that we'll never do anything with
He could have used it to patch up his trailer .
Mr Goodpliers - your family will auction that wood off after you pass. The circle of life.
Heck even that barn was gold, three chicken coups. If you paint or lacquer the wood you get pristine 3d grain. Nice dry lumber in the attic, it's hardly available even, would make a lot of granddads happy.
Just watched the territory trading guy get an IH 915 combine back to his yard. Relics of the past
Where I live that's for sold to work with.
@@gertvanderhorst2890 For the price it brought it pretty much has to be a machine to be used. The 1460 was a very good buy even if for parts.
My aunt and her husband, he died at 99 years old and she was in her 80s like 89 somewhere than there they had a lot of cars they had cars that’s in the garage cap Chevrolet 55 Chevrolet so all old cars some of them was in the woods Like 8200 of them in the woods some still have bought and our cars are when they’re in the woods. Some was good some well in order anyways here’s what happened. He had a garage with a big garage. Had John Deere tractors from the biggest John Deere tractor to the smallest 99 Ellicott city Maryland that’s where he had his land. They had some guy cutting the grass for him every two weeks or so on my uncle. He passed on at 99 years old. The guy came to my grandma and asked her. Can he sold the cars for her She said I guess so so he took it. She didn’t let no family members know at all we went up there all the cars was gone. I don’t think she got any money out of deal but she told me she was selling every car for $500 or less. I said aunt Martha that was crazy. Summon them cars work a lot of money especially the ones with garage cap. Oh my gosh, yeah the 755 Chevrolet Ford Dodgers, all kinds of cars and trucks he used to sell fruits and vegetables on the side of road making real good money he never put his money in the bank, his house look like the Addams family house when he died a week later on moving truck that night while my grandma was asleep, she heard a noise. She looked out the window he had built. Yeah, he had a brand new house built for her, but he lived in the Addams family house was falling apart. He didn’t believe him and putting his money in the bank. He Musta had a lot of money stacked away in the house in the walls and other places he had to if we didn’t put his money in the bank is making good money every single day he had two fruit stands get back to what I was saying the moving truck pulled up at night time probably like 1230 at night. My grandma looked out the window between her and his house. They had pine trees put there enough to where you could barely see her to his house, but somebody clean her somebody clean his house with all his belongings he had old antique furniture. He had it all she got up the next day. It was all gone. That was crazy man so we don’t know if the guy cut a grass has something to do with that or not, good thing good thing my grandmother said that she took and took him to the bank to deposit all his money in the bank, but she knows he had gold coins shit load of them still in the house Yeah they had the coins in their house, gold silver coins, old coins from him having his first stand he had tons of change heads somewhere in the house, but I wish she would’ve got us supper to take a metal protector through the house before she had a demolition crew come out there and tear it down I don’t know why for some reason she did not call any of the family members to let us know about. It was so crazy. What I can’t get out of my head is autumn cars I used to play on as a kid to the last time I was up there. I’ve been up there like a week before he died in the garage. Oh my God he had cars that look like it just came off the floor, Fairlanes and other shades 5557 Chevrolet and so on the brand new just came off the show floor yeah came back. They was gone. She don’t even know where they went. I was like are you kidding me? I asked her does she still have all the titles, I think so. Yeah, they was in his house while they’re gone and I think the same person can’t blame it on him, but it probably was the guy cut her grass guy. Yes, stored her car and sold them all and probably one in a house with the moving truck that night at 12 something at night took all his antiques furniture because he knows he’s been in there plenty of times that.
Thanks for making these videos, farms like this are mostly all gone here in Indiana. Hard to find old iron here.
😮Looks like you were having a good time at the farm auction. Hope you're able to get the mobile station done ✔️
I would not be surprised to learn that they worked on customer vehicles in the shop.
I was thinking the same thing. That was very well equipped for a farm. When I was a kid there was a farm near us where they also had a shop that worked on cars and farm equipment. I would love to have that old Sun engine analyzer in my shop. I used one similar to that back in the 1980’s.
@@Belltone Last summer I just missed a Sun distributor machine on Marketplace. I used them at work through the mid 1990s
@@truthboomertruthbomber5125 I would love to go back to those old machines and trade in my OBD scanner.
On old Dodge pickups, 5lug x 4,5 circle = half ton / 5lug 5inch circle = 3/4 ton I believe.
A homemade air compressor using a refrigerator Freon compressor with an electric motor. I had one many years ago, there was also one in the shop class in my old high school.
Love that old blue Chevy truck! Didn't catch the year....64? Anyway, I bet it's in such nice shape because it wasn't his farm truck, it was his goin' to town rig! Thanks for taking us along. What a great bunch of stuff. Dang! It was a 66 and went for $9700.00? That's steep!
I believe they said it was a '66. It was a straight short bed with nearly no rust that would have run with a little tinkering. If it were a big window Custom cab with two tone paint, factory V8 automatic, and chrome bumpers & grille it might have brought $20k
@@mr.goodpliers6988 Oil rag no-restore finish, manual six.15k in perfect running order, sold within 3 days. Frugality has its own apppeal and they are buying it like hot cakes, just as the Internationals.Saw them parked at golfclubs, ok twice.
I wish I still had my 86 Cutlass Supreme who knew they would retain value like that
Unless you had a 4-4-2.....two-tone paint...bucket seats.....shift on the console....etc etc....then....an '86 Cutlass ain't worth that much. I had one...just a Cutlass Supreme.---Hard top (no Landau garbage). Gun metal gray......in and out. Nice rims. But.....the 307 had no balls.....it was slow....and ate gas. Yes, the 307 was reliable....and the tranny was good/solid....but....overall, it was a completely unremarkable car.
Gandy planter made in my hometown , they are still in business. The Johnson CB radio made in a town 14 miles away
As far as I know a 2 door is a coupe , and a 4 door is a sedan. At least that’s what my dad told me. What an awesome property and sale. lol , I had to laugh , you were surrounded by hemp. When you were looking at the Ranchero 500. Good stuff back in the day and a darn shame they don’t use it more often. Ok I see it everywhere. My buddies farm in Dixon Illinois has it the whole town has it everywhere , I mean everywhere. Wow we used that exact sun analyzer in high school at auto trade school. In 1983
The international truck was pretty cheap. Cool to see the old truck picking up the tractors. What a neat property, I'm like you, would have loved to seen photos of it from it's heyday! Looks like the hunting would be great! Didn't know about the prestone gasoline can! Thanks for the education again!!!

The gas can, just fill almost to the top, put in a freezer will push out the dents. I think. St.Paul,Minnesota.

One man trash is another man treasure, parts or scrap is all I see.
Kind of glad we don't have sales like that much here in the UK, the cabover, the 39-47 Dodge, the 51 Chevy, so much temptation (I'm guessing this place was in the middle of nowhere mind)
Surprisingly it was just 100 miles from Lincoln, and 100 miles from Omaha. The market is very slow right now but there are always a few people around with deep pockets, and on occasion two show up at a sale who both want the same thing
This is in my area! Recognize a few of the people. Thanks for the video

This seems like either someone was raised by the depression generation or lived the great depression. People like this are hard to find in the world we live in where everyone is hyper specialized.
My mother 94 lived in the depression and I am 75.S😊he talks almost every day to me.
Maybe not the most exciting items at the auction , but descent smalls that keep the lights on.
The Skelly tank was hooked to a compressor, homemade air compressor. The switches were to turn it on.
Soft market for old cars is when you buy !! Sit on em until it heats up 😊
Excellent video. I would have bought all three motorcycles since it's my thing.
For the Red tractor and machine guys, they were IH tractors, even if it did say Case IH! The binder pickup was cheap enough but it looked like every panel on it was dented. I could hardly believe what the C10 and 49 Dodge pickups brought, some people must have really wanted them. The AC dozer was a bargain if a guy needed one and had the time and skill to fix it, otherwise it was a good deal for a scraper. All the tractors seemed a bit high and the cars too. The D600 Dodge was cheap even if it didn't run. I suspect you had a good time watching, as did I. Thanks!
I agree, the Case moniker was only a name. The dozer did get loaded out of there by someone from Kansas. It landed on Facebook Marketplace for a couple weeks for $1500, then would be heading to scrap if no takers. Not every day a fella gets a chance at an item with a 1000% markup! A deal like that looks fantastic on the front end, but on the back you have to realize how much the guy would need to have tied up in equipment, trailer and truck to move it, and it is less of a wild deal considering that
Another great video thank you! WOW on the Chevy truck
Enjoy your professional videos from Australia
Pretty good prices. A lot of interesting smaller items.
Great vid. That Cutlass $ was crazy. Others werr ridiculously low.
Fun video tour - thank you
The mouldings on the skirts look like they match the fender chrome on a 1942-1948 Chevy Fleetline,
The 5 grand for the 80s Cutlass is about what it cost new! I bought a 1970 Oldsmobile 442 new, ordered by my dad from the dealer, while I finished my tour of duty in Viet Nam, cost me 4200.00 delivered to the dealer!
I had I think was a '76 AMF 250. it was seriously underpowered but i had fun on it.
The bike had super low miles on it when I got it from a retired HD dealer.
The barn lumber is some of the most valuable items in the sale.
