On-site Estate Auction for my Dad

[ws6duramax]

My Father passed away in May and I have been tasked with taking care of the Estate. This is lifetime of belongings. He was like most of us on the forum. Loved the outdoors and working on cars and just about everything else. This will big a good-sized auction, with something for just about anyone. Below is a link to the auction. It has quite a few pictures but that's only the tip of the iceberg!
If you're looking for anything, it's probably here!

Thanks for looking and hope some of you can attend

Man - I wish you and your family well and the best outcome imaginable at the auction.

So sorry for your loss.

Tractors and guns and tools, oh my!

How do the gun sales work at these auctions these days? Is there an ffl present?

Much appreciated sir. It's not been easy in any way.

To the best of my knowledge, they are treated as a ftf sale between Indiana residents. No out of state sales, that would require an FFL.

I am very sorry for your loss. I hope you (and siblings if you have any) are in a position where you are able to keep what has meaning for you and aren't having to sell everything due to financial reasons.

It's hard to see a mob of strangers walking through the property and buying your parent's stuff. We had an auction for my parent's estate. As hard as it was to see it was for the best.

Yeah, you hate to see pennies on the dollar for all their hard earned stuff, but what's a guy to do with all of it. If you tried to sell it piece by piece, it would take YEARS to get through. This is simplest way, but also the hardest

Yep. Rip the band aid off and be done with it.

THIS. per one of the other discussions on auctions, auctioneers are considered to be "in the business of selling for a profit" and either need to be a FFL or use a FFL to transfer the guns they auction off.

That's been my experience. Either the auctioneer had his FFL or employed one at the auction to handle the transfers.

Sorry to read about your Father's passing.
Good luck with the auction!

Sorry to hear about him.

My Neighbor past years ago and the family had an auction. Stuff moved quick, but surprised me, quite a bit went for more that retail. Another neighbor was there and he walked out. He said you people are nuts, buying for more than retail and pointed to a price sticker on a box from a saw. It went for a chunk above that.
