Once you’ve registered, it will talk you through what you need to do, there are also videos which will take you through the process, and there is an area which lets you make “test” bids, so you don’t get stuck. Maybe give Ross a ring, pretty sure he does a bit of online bidding with them. Also best to do it on a computer rather than your phone so that your “live” and can hear everything.

Never known it as high as that MikeWhen we registered for Euroauctions it was £25K deposit. Obviously if you don't buy anything you get it all back. if you do buy I think it goes toward the purchase with either a top to cover or a refund of the balance.
, only ever known it to be £10k.

Not sure judging by the price of what those two full steelwrist set-ups went for at the JCB auction, think all this talk of a shortage of second hand units is purely a myth....I don’t think anyone has seen or heard of him
Do you know what price the steelwrist units went for?

Well the hitch’s are up for £1200 and the units are up for I think about £8k, the bloke who is selling them will be making money on that.

Found it, if you can ever get down to this place, it really is an Aladins cave of stuff, Eddie mentioned this place along time ago on the other forum, and he wasn’t wrong, great place to sniff a couple of deals out

I like cake
I do my best not to buy at auction, its full o shite 90% of the time.
That said kit is so all over the place at the moment you can bag a bargain indeed.

Thought there was a few bargains/acceptable prices for a few machines up there today, from what I was watching.

do it as well as you can,but learn to do it better
S 50 though Ollie .... not a popular size in the UK ....... IIRC they originally sold for £6k a piece .... the hitches are S45sFound it, if you can ever get down to this place, it really is an Aladins cave of stuff, Eddie mentioned this place along time ago on the other forum, and he wasn’t wrong, great place to sniff a couple of deals out

You could still sort the pins out for that price.

agreed, but the S50 is more the issue ... NOT popular over here ... tilty looks like it might well be 45s in the top half, and allow pick up with the S45 hitch ... but with S50 under it, you couldn't pick up any buckets with the tilty off

To be fair it sounded like there was confusion when they sold it with three lots combined , you could hear the auctioneer explaining after the hammer was downThat was with bucket as well Mike

True but there are some genuine buckets kicking around, a genuine unused Steelwrist 2 foot went through Euro the other week for £200
Not sure wether you’d get away with a S50 been able to pick up S45, is the head stock narrower on a S45 than 50??...with the back pin slack been taken up with the wedges on the back?..a bit like the multi pin hitch’s??

Yeh, I get that, there usually is a bit of confusion when something like that gets put through, with only a handful of people actually knowing what’s up for grabs. Was in for a tree shear the other week with just 3 of us one for it , but a lot of people trying get there head round what it was used for.To be fair it sounded like there was confusion when they sold it with three lots combined , you could hear the auctioneer explaining after the hammer was down
