We had rain, wind, lightning, and even a little hail--but everyone was in a cheerful mood when they were at the trailer window. Bidders gathered inside the auction trailer to keep their checks and cash dry while paying for their treasures.
This was a great old time farm auction with everything from soup to nuts for the bidders. There was one star of the auction that generated a lot of attention:
1937 Harley Davidson UL Flat Head Motorcycle.
We found it in the barn, parked behind a John Deere tractor. Just propped up on a barn beam, layered in 40 years of dust, waiting to be found. Wayne couldn't believe his eyes and was at a loss for words ( when he found them again, they were unable to be printed here).
The phone began ringing as soon as the photos posted to the website and it didn't stop ringing until Tuesday after the auction.
There were a lot of absentee bidders as well as bidders on the phone. A gentleman flew in from California and another drove from Louisiana to see this rare sight. In the end, a bidder from Wisconsin took home the Harley for $38,000! It was a great day despite the weather!
Stay tuned for more "Views from the Auction Trailer" in upcoming weeks!
