Gisburn Auction Mart – Monday 16 January 2012 |
|
Machinery Sale Saturday 14 January |
|
Gisburn Auction Marts first anything and everything machinery sale of the year, on Saturday 14 January was as popular as ever with both vendors and customers braving sub zero temperatures. |
|
As usual there was a yard full of items totalling 300 lots and ranging from the usual slurry tankers and cattle trailers to wheel barrows and hand lots. The sale also included a garage clearance sale which saw large spanners and stilsons saws selling well with an array of comments “They don’t make them like they used to do!” A clearance from a local garden centre also caused some interest and the vendor would be delighted with some the prices achieved, especially for a cast iron lamp post selling at £160. Bargain of the day at £2 was a box of Christmas lights and decorations which were snapped up by the auctioneer’s clerk. |
|
Large machinery in good ex farm condition continued to sell well to Irish buyers, two slurry tankers sold at £3500 and £1180 both going over the water. |
|
Non vat sheep equipment was much sought after by regular Saturday customers with sheep racks making up to £140 and sheep snackers to £600. |
|
The two tractors on offer both sold but were in the bargain basement. A three cylinder Renault non runner sold for £440 and David Brown £1200. |
|
Next Machinery sale dates are Tuesday 27 March for large machinery and the next “Everything and Anything” sale is Saturday 19 May. |

First lot under the hammer was the 1959 International B250 in very original condition, at £1400 and the next lot an International 475 with Perkins engine sold for £1700, proving again that old tractors are well worth looking after. Good ex-farm machinery sold well with top price in the machinery section going to John Lund, Gisburn, Clitheroe, Lancashire when he sold a twin axle drop side tipping trailer to Horsfield Brothers, Foulridge, Colne, Lancashire for £3000.

W Moore, Catforth, Preston purchased the cheapest lot of the day which was a piano stool complete with music for £1.00.

Great Spring Machinery Sale – 22 March 2011
Thank you to everyone who came to the Great Spring Machinery Sale on the warmest day of the year so far. Thanks also to the staff as this turned out to be a big event. As always good ex farm machinery sold well and several vendors were pleased with their results. The Irish buyers were in top form especially for Vicon Fertiliser Spreaders. Messrs. Shackleton taking first prize and top price of £980 in a very strong class of seven entries. Silage trailers were out in force and Johnny Metcalf sold a tidy Fraser twin axle with bale extension at £2,480. Chain Harrows and rollers were popular with a good Twose roller selling at £900. In the tractor section EW & JR Parkinson Dunsop Bridge sold a Ford 6410 4WD with loader for a very respectable £6,600 and John Wrennal of Whitewell sold a 1967 MF165 with MF loader at £2,000. It is worth noting that “vintage” tractors can usually be sold ex VAT and this makes them more attractive to private buyers. Our next Saturday “Anything & Everything” sale is on Saturday 21 May so dig out your old hay time tackle ! |

Saturday 15 January Machinery Sale |

|
Torrential rain did not dampen the enthusiasm of customers at the first Machinery Sale of the year at Gisburn Auction Mart on Saturday. The term “anything and everything” has never been more appropriate to describe the lots on offer. Failing to sell at the start of the sale was a secondhand bathroom suite of mixed colours –the bath sold later for £1.00. At the top end of the range was a Class 456 4WD tractor with power loader showing just 1800 hours this sold to a local farmer for £20,000. An ‘X’ reg Mazda pickup in very good condition and recently tested drew bids from all directions before finally stopping at a respectable £1300 which was just over the vendor expectations. The buoyant scrap metal trade helped to keep the older items selling with old tipping trailers making about £200. As usual there was a good entry of older cattle trailers which seem to sell very well to our Saturday customers especially if they are VAT free. Other items of interest were packs of railway sleepers at £13 each, ratchet straps in boxes of ten for £20 and a box of 100 correction fluid pens which sold to D Graveston for £2 – can anyone make that many mistakes? |

Saturday 6 November - Last machinery sale of the year |
|
A bigger entry than expected with 300 lots on offer at last Saturday’s “Anything & Everything Sale” meant a three o’clock finish but trade held up right to the end. Top money of the day was given for a 2008 Honda Quad with 3 months Honda warranty remaining and selling at £3,600 it looked good value. Tractor’s as always caused great interest and first to sell was a very straight 135 with no VAT and it sold for £2,500, next was a tired MF590 with loader but it failed to reach the £3,500 reserve. Keen David Brown fan Joe Holden was quick to bid for a 1973 DB996 which was not pretty but very sound mechanically and at £920 it was a very good scraper tractor. A tandem axle tipping trailer sold at £1,400 and an unused Fleming spreader sold for £2,950. Large bags of firewood sold for £18 to £30 per bag. |

Machinery Sale Tuesday 7 September 2010 |
|
After a wet and wild night the sun came out for Tuesday’s Great Autumn Machinery Sale at Gisburn Auction. A good crowd of machinery dealers including some Irish buyers called in on their way to the York sale the following day. |
|
Some 200 lots of machinery were followed by a consignment of plant and 18 tractors. In the machinery section an entry from Bennet Robinson of Rimington saw a wooden farm cart selling to Bill Moore of Woodplumpton for £50. This cart was built at the blacksmith’s in Gisburn and had been stored indoors for many years. A West dual spreader from J & S Hartley Bashall Eaves was well past its sell by date and sold for £460 to Irish buyer Dean Clarke. The star item was a 2 furrow Ransomes reversible plough which came from Alan Duckworths at Paythorne, this caught the eye of keen collector Gary Entwistle whose successful bid to £390 secured it for his museum, this item came with a full instruction book which can only add to its future value. |
|
In the plant section a group of top quality well maintained diggers sold to £14,000 for a 13 tonne JCB and a Kubota RTV sold for £8,300.00. A tired looking Volvo 5 tonne digger on rubber tracks sold after the auction for £5,000. |
|
Tractors were harder to sell except for two from a dispersal for E Gorst of Paythorne. His Case 895 although showing some rot on the cab sold well at £4,400 even though a new set of rubbers would soon be needed. His loader tractor was a Ford 6610 2WD SQ and was exceptionally tidy and sold for £4,800 to Stan Ainsworth. Cheapest of the day was a very tired DB1410 with narrow door Q cab, although this was the turbo model the turbo was in the toolbox which confused even the most discerning DB fan! At £520 there was surely some profit left in the old girl. Star attraction was a very original Roadless Ploughmaster 98 which sold to an undisclosed buyer for £6,600. |

Machinery Sale Saturday 31st July 2010
Saturday’s machinery sale at Gisburn Auction Mart proved once again that our motto “Everything and Anything” is absolutely true. At the top end of the market was a well maintained Toyota pick-up selling at £2,350 to local customer Barrie Jackson. Buyers had come from Carlisle and Cheshire for this vehicle but with Rachel Capstick counting the bids the local man came out smiling. With over 350 lots on offer a late finish was inevitable but the last row of machinery sold well with well used silage trailers making just shy of the £2,000 mark.
A stock clearance of galvanised sheep handling equipment sold at almost new price as customers picked up the odd piece they needed. Tractors were not good to sell but a grey Fergie fitted with a P3 Perkins engine sold to make an impressive £1,600. A consignment of machinery in good order form a local farm saw a BWA tipping trailer go for £900.00 and a small Vicon slurry tanker making a whopping £500. A Fella 167 drum mower sold to a cautious £550 and although it looked as new on further inspection one drum was badly damaged – moral of story is always check under the skirt! Our next sale is on Tuesday 7 September 2010.

Gisburn Machinery Sale – Saturday 10 April 2010 Despite the fact that there were two other sales on the same day a good crowd of regular sale goers enjoyed the warmest sunshine of the year at Gisburn Auction Marts. As always there was an interesting line up of lots with a 1963 MF35 causing much interest early in the sale. This little tractor was a good example and sold without VAT to attract a £1900.00bid from local MF expert Ted Braithwaite. This was soon followed by a Portequip mobile cattle handling system which was a must for any beef farmer the hammer fell to Slaidburn farmers T Robinson & Son for £3,100.00 Cattle trailers of every shape and size met a mixed trade but some vendors decided to take the bids on offer and a I/W DP120 G 2004 model sold just on £2000.00. Older trailers sold either side of the £1000.00 mark. Fencing equipment sold well as this is traditionally the time of year when sheep and lambs escape to neighbouring fields. Just to prove that we can sell anything at GAM a Diahatsu 1.5 hatchback with a new MOT on the morning of the sale sold for a respectable £550.00. Also in the sale was a much admired vintage caravan which sold to local farmer George Simpson of Bolton by Bowland which would have made a respectable and luxury shepherds hut.
Next sale is on Saturday 5 June. Everyone welcome. |
