Can anyone suggests an Auctioneer for a large Cub Lot?
 

Well, after 7 months of pondering the options of what to do with a huge lot of Cub Cadets and Cub Cadet parts, I have decided to reach out and speak to someone about having an auction.
To give an idea I have over 150 Cubs plus a 20x40 building full of parts plus a whole field of attachments on skids.
Has anyone here done this before (or have first hand experience with a friend who has) and if so, what was the outcome/success?
Can anyone here suggest an auctioneer who knows how to draw the right crowd or position parts to sell optimally?
I don't want an auctioneer who will hold up a $60 headlight panel for a 122 and say "Ok here we have 2 lightbulbs that sell new for $5"
Of course that's an exaggerated example, but you get my point.
Any advise would be welcomed.
Thanks group.

EBay ? comes to mind I think it would be hard to replicate their exposure

Cubs may be to small for them, but it might be worth a call. My cousin is friends with them.

( the original owner was good friends with my grandfather-- both have passed )

What area are you in?

Location, location, location...:bigthink:

You will need one w/long arms when it comes to advertising in order to get the "right kind" of crowd there.

Looks like way too much of the same kind of things.

The last auction I was at like that turned into a rout so to speak with
stuff, parts mainly, going for next to nothing and many Cubs not garnering much attn. at all leading to lo-ball bids, leading to withdrawal of the item from the bidding.

Good Luck!

Thanks for the helpful comments everyone.
I'm in central PA, North of Johnstown, west of Altoona.

Mishler out of Davidsville , like said your location and the market for this is all a key player in $'s obtainable ! I've saw a lot of what you have and it's a big task ahead !

Nick,

The small stuff in the barn I would sell on ebay,bigger stuff goes to auction.
Be sure it is on a Saturday,draws the most bidders.
