Tips For Using Our Auction Results Tool
FarmMachineryLocator.co.uk aims to provide all of the information you need to make your next farm equipment purchase or sale a smart one. Price, of course, is a major consideration, whether your item of concern is a basic attachment or a used high-horsepower tractor. To help you with your planning, our Auction Results tool enables you to look through equipment sold from popular auctions services across the region over the previous two years.
Get Started & Fine-Tune Your Search
Click the Auction Results link on the website’s main menu bar to get started. Narrow your search by clicking a category or manufacturer link, and then navigate to the group of items that match what you’re seeking.
The hammer prices for the lots shown in the results include auctions from both the UK and Ireland. Click any listing’s View Details button to see where the auction as held, the date the equipment was auctioned, and a handful of details specific to each piece of equipment. Searching through multiple auctions for the same or similar models can help you estimate how much you might expect to pay for a certain piece of machinery at auction, as well as which brands and models have been most popular at recent sales.
The Auction Results page can be useful for dealers looking to determine a retail price for a tractor or machine they have in stock. Dealers can also use these closed listings to figure out the value of a piece of used equipment they might be considering adding to their inventory.
Use The Price Checker Tool
The Price Checker tool gives you the opportunity to compare retail and auction prices side-by-side. To use this free service, search for the type of equipment you’re interested in buying or selling and click the Price Checker button under the Auction Results heading at the top of the page.
This at-a-glance view provides a clearer picture of the current quick sale” auction prices and the current asking price (listed as the Retail price) for an item. There are calculations for the average price, highest and lowest price, and the average price after cutting out the higher and lowest options. The tool can also show the number of listings found, so you know the exact sample size.
With all of this information in hand, you can search through the FarmandMachineryLocator.co.uk listings to determine the best deal possible, and maybe even save some money in the process. You might even want to consider comparing the Price Checker results with Auction Results to have a second point of appraisal.
