At farm machinery dispersal sales the most interest is usually focused on the biggest and most likely expensive machine which is usually a combine. Here the auctioneer is about to launch into the horse trading of low bids that eventually end up back where his opening valuation started. Note the frayed stick caused by striking machines at the conclusion of the final bid. http://www.alexanders-agval.co.uk/auctions/new-leys-farm?short=1
