The economy is not great, but it is not terrible, either.

This was a very, very ****ed up auction, a lot of things were sold for
nothing. A very bad way to organize a sale.

That Dayton MIG welder, I won for $100, for example.

Maybe your economy is worse than you thought?

If I had any bucks..I could be buying all manner of machinery for little
money.

Saw a 4 yr old Fadal 16x30 CNC mill go for $5k last week.

Yes....$5k

Well, I will likely sell this Dayton MIG for good money. I bought it
for $100 not because the economy is bad, but because the auction was
bad.

I can likely sell it for several times my cost.

We actually had one between here and Bakersfield. I saw it..but never
stopped in. Scissor lifts were going for less than $500..they had
literally hundreds of them that came out of the metro areas.

I really really really need a 19' scissor lift....sigh

Anyone going to the Sacramento auction want to buy me one and trade it
out for machinery..Im up for it.

Tell the folks around here how great it is.
There have been at least 15 farms selling out and NONE of them wanted to
sell out.

Auction prices have been just about 1/2 of what things are worth.
How about $15,000.00 tractors in great shape for $7,000.00 or a NEW
disc-bine for less than $3,000.00.
We even have Amish folks selling out and moving out of the area.

How about this little item. Wal~Mart usually hires a lot of temporary
help for the warehouses and stores this time of year. They are not only
NOT hiring they are laying people off because nobody has money to spend.

They are stopping construction on 63 stores and two warehouses for next
year. Plus they are planning on shutting down a few stores as well.

Lots of activity in So Cal as well. Lots of shopping centers doing
remodels, lots of cranes building government buildings etc

Only problem is...they are considering bulldozing brand new unlived in
housing tracts rather than trying to keep it up until they can even find
a renter.......those shopping centers are filled with For Lease signs
and they are trying desperately to get some tenants, government
buildings are filled with government workers who do NOT add to the
economy.....

Its all window dressing..painting the face of a corpse.

You cannot seriously draw conclusions from these anecdotes posted on
USENET. Some people and some areas are going to do worse and some
would do better.

In the first quarter of 2009, GDP fell at the annual rate of 6.4
percent. In the second quarter, GDP fell at the annual rate of 0.7%,
which is almost imperceptible.

http://www.bea.gov/newsreleases/nati...ewsrelease.htm

That's a very substantial progress and I would not dismiss it just
because someone is complaining that their local store is not hiring
temporary workers.

You apparently have a different local ag economy than the Midwest
location I am at. Land prices are at record highs(even despite
markets crashing). Used equipment is still very high compared to a
few years ago. Some used equipment is appreciating in value, not
depreciating. It's very nuts.
