B A Star Thanks for pointing out the Craigville IN auction

[Eric The Red]

B A Star thanks for pointing out this auction. I had a great time attending and bidding at this auction with my dad and what an awesome literature collection this man had amassed. We are from the east and this is the first time that I was at an auction and there was a million dollar bid. The price for the property from where I am from was crazy. I don't know how you can make that much money on the land.

I wanted to attend but prior commitments overuled. What did the 1600 bring?

The land price wouldn't suprise me, some near here in central IN sold for $12,000 an acre recently. WB<><.

The 1600 brought $1400. Needed a good tune up.
 

[Eric The Red]

This land brought $12108 an acre.

Wow...I'm sure the purchaser was a young guy just trying to get started....
 

[Eric The Red]

I'm 41 and he looked a lot younger than me.

Yehbut... did the young guy have long hair and a beard?....was he amish? There are amish in the vicinity. They buy land like that, then divide it a dozen ways from Sunday among their kin.
 

[Eric The Red]

He was not Amish.

Land here in central IL has gone crazy too. Recent sales near me have been $13,100 $13,200 $14,200 and $15000 per acre. All of these in the last month.

Did you see what the U302 MM brought? How did it look? And run?
I saw the sale bill, but did not get to go, even though it was prob about 75 miles from me. Thanks

It brought $1200 but the power steering did not work and lots of other things that did not work.
