Suits the bigs guys who sell through them ...
there will still be entry fees and commission AS WELL, from the sellers ..... pure greed on the part of the auctioneers - end of 🤬🤬 ... they'd make virtually sod all, if they didn't get any bidders/buyers for a month or two :rolleyes:;) .. might not think the 'buyers' premium' such a good idea then :) (y)

Euro auctions made I think nearly £19 millon profit in 22 and had profit margin of around 98% and that was just the was just euro auctions uk ltd , the set up cost may be high and the concrete bill for that yard allot but there is no doubt its a very profitable occupation once its up an running .

like I said .. creaming it ...... and haven't even mentioned ludicrous indemnities (often for authority owned kit)
buyers premium is a new 'device' really ... never had it 15 years ago ..... commission came off the sale price, paid by the seller along with entry fees ... just another way of creaming money by greedy auctioneers ... all they'd get would be entry fees if folk boycotted a few auctions, then attitudes might change (y)
don't get much greedier than 98% profits

Why has this E10 got guards on the hydraulic cylinders on bucket and dipper ? Never seen that before. Mine is a 2021 and not like that .

My e10 came better specced than I'd ordered. Apparently it was common for machines to land in dealers that were well over specced or totally different to what was ordered.

Extras on that machine is factory beacon, extended aux pipes, ram guards, probably got track pipe gaurds fitted too and will have the demo pack (aka hyd cooler) fitted.

I thought the hydraulic cooler was standard spec... that's part of why I bought the E10. What's the easy way to check? The Doosans seem to have the extended aux pipes as standard.

No the hydraulic cooler is extra, its just a normal for us in UK to of had it specced by the dealer regardless but definitely not a given.

Doosan have extended pipes as standard but they can't have the electronic switch for track expansion (strange deal agreed between doosan and bobcat)

You can see the hyd cooler when looking at the rad pack.

I’d have loved the electronic switch for tracks on my dx10
