    Next one in my area is June 19th. Imma go see if I can find 3 things. An old school fixer upper to tinker on. A cheap dry van for the winter when open deck get slow and a better flatbed.

    I've never been to one, how good are the deals? I imagine it can go both ways and you gotta know what your bidding on. But is it possible to get a steal at these places?

    There's a couple things at the Edmonton auction I've got my eye on. Best part is its all online bidding so I don't even gotta drive 7 hours there unless I buy something lol.

    Auctions are hit or miss. I know guys who've picked up good deals on forestry stuff. Other times they get it home and immediately have to sink $40k into it. Hopefully the price paid reflects the condition.
