Crabb Estate and C&T Wholesale auction is one to watch

What happens when you inherit a farm equipment and parts business, but your life isn't exactly suited for that line of work?  Our current auction featuring the inventory of C&T Wholesale and parts of the Crabb Estate is a great case study.  Over 70 tractor implements, parts, trailers and even a Model A and Model T Ford will all be sold to the highest bidder.

Heirs often have much different lives than their benefactors. We see it fairly regularly.  After the passing of a loved one, an heir is faced with a decision.  Do I continue to operate a business, sell it, or liquidate it?   If taking over the business is not an option, auction is the answer.  I dove deeper on that subject in a earlier post here.  The heir can return to their normal life while the auction professional handles the details, the marketing, the work, the pickup process and the payment collection.  They simply receive a check at the end of the process.

For buyers, this auction will be a great opportunity as well.  Bid your price on harrows, mowers, landscape rakes, planters, box blades and much more.  There will be opportunities to buy parts in bulk, or even drive off in a sweet Model A Ford.  Bidding ends September 25th.  See this auction and the rest of our PACKED fall lineup at www.southauction.com

Why do men like old stuff?

Why is it that men have a strange affinity for old things?  Many guys are enamored by arrowheads, rusty wall-hangers and even old tools.  An anvil from the 1800s, pocket watches from the 1940s, shoebox Chevy from the 1950s, football cards from the 1970s, Fender Stratocaster from the 1980s and bar mirrors from the 1990s.  These are just a few of the items that are included in our February Collector's Auction in Statesboro, GA.  Bidding is open now and will run through February 13th at 7 PM.

Much to the chagrin of wives and girlfriends everywhere, this phenomenon doesn't seem to be coming to an end anytime soon.  Despite the fact that they don't really need it, men everywhere are still seeking classic cars, vintage American made tools and knives, signs and baseball cards of their childhood heroes.

I contend that the reason for this phenomenon is simply nostalgia.  Perhaps it's a reminder of a more simple time.  A reminder of a father or grandfather.  Perhaps it's the hope that similar relics will yield a similar life that a respected man enjoyed.  Or maybe the stuff is just cool!

All this talk of men........ The same emotions and rationalizations are evident with ladies too.  Most of the time with just different items, but many times exactly the same!  I think it's part of human nature.

What interesting old treasures do you cherish?
