Cooper Auction
May 9, 2015
Great auction!!!150 bidders from 5 states. The stove brought $2600, the 820 John Deere $2000, the trip hammer 1250, the model t coupe $1900, 47 GMC $1400, the weather cleared up and warmed up, only a few drops of rain & about 45 degrees by 12:30.
Thanks to everybody who came!!!
Update may 9 6 AM. Weather at the Cooper location is 40 with no rain although we will expect some rain and possibly some snow during the day.
The auction is ON for today, May 9.
Dress for the weather. We have heat in the kitchen and the concessions will be open.
Call 406 949 3448 if you need to talk to stan.
Bring a jacket, it will be cool and windy. We lost a day of set up time today outside but got the shops cleaned out. There are always a few finds!! Today we found a Litening cream separator can in near mint condition behind a box of "Stuff" in the shop. We also uncovered an old flat belt drive post drill. There is also one on the wall of the shop. We also dug the line shaft for the trip hammer out of the brush.
Heads up that we found out that what we thought was petrified wood is probably a unique eastern Montana rock. Still pretty.
The Litening can is Litening cream separator oil.
We will have a huge loader at the auction from 2 pm to 5pm that can load anything you buy!!!!. Thanks to Griffith excavating of Baker for jumping in at the last minute to bring their loader out. They will take care of you at the cooper location but probably wont be at the second location.
I finally figured out how to upload the Cooper video to youtube. This just shows some of the older machinery for the most part but you can watch it at.
https://youtu.be/bbYd3_9-gOg
NOTE THAT IF YOU WATCH THE VIDEO IT SAYS THE AUCTION IS ON THE 16TH. IT WAS ORIGINALLY SCHEDULED FOR THE 16TH BUT WE CHANGED THE DATE TO AVOID CONFLICT WITH THE BUCKING HORSE SALE IN MILES CITY.
Nice addition to this auction.
1996 Chevy Pickup.
Part of the estate, not a consignment.
WE ARE WORKING ON GETTING A BIGGER LOADER AT THE AUCTION TO LOAD SOME OF THE HEAVIER ITEMS. I BELIEVE IT WILL BE THERE. CHECK BACK HERE IN A DAY OR TWO TO KNOW FOR SURE.

Inspection is officially 9 AM May 9 but we will be working there for a couple days prior to the auction during daylight hours. You are welcome to stop by during those two days if you want to take an early look. Be aware that nothing is for sale prior to the auction. Don't even ask.
As the property has been sold and there are cattle and other activities on the auction sites we request that you do not enter the auction sites prior to
Thursday & Friday, May 7th or 8th.
If the gate is closed May 7th or 8th, call Stan at 406-949-3448

Thanks, see you at the auction. Bring lots of money and somebody to bid against you. If you can't bring anybody I'll see if I can find somebody.
Please read these terms and conditions related to the Cooper/Houzvicka auction:
NO buyer number will be issued without name, valid address, valid phone & signature agreeing to the terms and conditions at time of registration.
Please bear in mind that even though Stan Howe, Stan Buchholz, Bob Miller, Reba or someone else may know you personally, the cashiers probably do not. They are required to record your information and get a signature to give you a bidder number.
2. Payment is by US cash, valid personal or company check only. We do NOT take credit cards. We will accept out of state checks with valid registration.
3. Payment is due at or before the end of the auction on day of auction. No hold checks or other arrangements accepted without prior approval of Stan Howe personally.
4. Children must be under the supervision of an adult at all times.
5. Removal is at the expense of the buyer. We do not have equipment to load the tractors & other heavy iron that is there. Come prepared to load and haul your purchases. We will try to help load smaller items as much as crew can do but remember we will be moving to the second location and will be selling there. Note that we will be selling most of the machinery where it has set for many years. We will move through the "storage yard" on foot selling as we go. Most of the antiques will sell near the house at the Cooper location although there are some at the second location.
We will be at the locations Sunday, May 10th. We will be on site again Saturday, May 16th and close the gates at 6 PM. All purchases must be removed by then; only the high bidder for the final scrap will have access to the property after May 16th.
6. Ownership passes at the fall of the hammer or the auctioneer saying "Sold" and clerking it to a valid buyer number. Buyers should be prepared to mark, protect and load their merchandise as soon as they buy it. Auction company is not responsible for loss of any item after sale of that item. Protect your purchases. Any item clerked to a buyer number must be paid for whether it leaves with the buyer or somebody else.
7. We DO NOT mark buyer numbers on purchases. If you want your purchases marked be prepared to do so with Sharpies, paint or colored ribbon or tags. If you are buying scrap iron, bring a can of oddball colored paint. It saves a lot of arguments and confusion later.
8. Buyers may remove merchandise to their vehicle or hold it on person as soon as the clerk has registered the purchase to the buyer. Buyers need only pay one time; at the close of the auction or before the buyer leaves the auction site.
9. Removal is to be complete by 6 PM Saturday, May 16. ANYTHING left on the premises at that time will go to the scrappers. We will take a percentage bid from the scrappers at the end of the auction, they will agree to pay the sellers a percentage of whatever they haul that is left as of 6 PM Saturday, May 16. Only the high bidder for the remaining scrap will have access to the properties after May 16th.
10. Auction registration and payment may be photographed and videoed for security purposes as well as bidding and removal activities.
11. We have titles for many of the vehicles. They will be marked on the windshield. Titles will be given at time of payment.
If the buyer wants a bill of sale for a non-titled vehicle we will provide it upon request.
12. We will be on-site Sunday, May 10 and will be there again on Saturday, May 16th.
13. The auction company does not provide Telephone, Absentee or Internet bidding. There is, however, cell service in the area. If you want to bid absentee or via telephone, we can hook you up with someone to do that for you. This is a service they may charge you for and is not connected to the auction company. ALL PURCHASES must be paid for the day of the auction regardless of any bidding arrangements with a 3rd party bidding on your behalf. They will need to pay us IN FULL the day of the auction. All arrangements, guarantees and payments are between you and your agent, the auction company is not involved and will not take sides in any disputes. Period.
14. As there will be family members attending the auction who may want to purchase some things be aware that they are not bidding to buy any thing back or enhance the bid. They are bidding on their own behalf and will pay at the end of the auction the same as any other bidder.
15. Thank you for attending the auction. We will have excellent concessions for both locations and will have portable toilets.
16. I am nearly 500 miles away and am trying to hire help and get the auction up and running with some local help in Baker. Bear with us.
17. If you are interested in working either prior to or during the auction, call Stan 406-949-3448 We will need setup help as well as auction day help; display help, loading help, someone to run clerk sheets, probably a backup clerk, etc.
Good dates are filling, call Stan Buckholz at 406-855-5555 to get on our calendar for spring 2015. We have several auctions tentatively scheduled for spring -- call today to reserve a good date.

We had a great time at the auction, we have a good crowd with bidders from South Dakota to Oregon, lots of car and truck collectors, gas pump collectors, lookers and neighbors who came to see what all was there. A few of the highlights, the two red gas pumps and the lights shown on the brochure brought $7000 -- yup, no mistake, $7000! they went to the museum in Chester, bought at the auction and donated to the museum. They were from the Lothair store. The Buick convertible brought $29,500; the Field Marshall $7000, the Model A coupe body brought $1100, lots of happy buyers got what they wanted, Leonard made some money, there were some great deals like the baler that sold for $1000, a couple of the trucks were pretty good buys, the scrappers bought a lot of the old farm machinery, we had a great lunch and were done at 4:30 in the afternoon. Thanks to all the people who came to the auction, we'll keep you on the mail ing list for the next one. By the way, I enjoyed working with Jerry & Zane. It made a fun day for all of us.
We have a couple more auctions coming up either this fall or in the spring, check back and we'll have them on this web site when we get them all booked and listed.
Thanks to the hundreds of sellers and thousands of buyers who have made this business successful. We have customers we have had as many as 4 auctions for and most of our business over the years has come from people who attended our auctions or from recommendations by people who have attended.
Since we started printing our own brochures in-house in 1999 we have printed over 250,000 brochures on our laser printers. Printing in-house is far cheaper than sending them out and allows us to do pretty short term auctions. It also allows us to update quickly and since ink is what costs the money (or toner these days) printers don't like printing a lot of pictures. I do. I like the brochure so full of pictures I can't find a spot to put anything more. I've never seen anybody come to an auction based on the white space on the brochure.
Keep in touch, let us know if we can be of service.
Thanks,
Stan Howe
Bob Miller
Donna Smith & the rest of the crew.
Thanks for visiting, we'll look for you at our next auction.
Stan Howe
Note that on all the photo pages we load them at a fairly small size in order to allow people with slower connections to view the web site, as there is a ton and a half of material on here. We also do not load color background pages and panels that repeat information from page to page so the photos and information load faster.
DUE TO PROBLEMS WITH VIEWERS WITH SLOWER CONNECTIONS HAVING TROUBLE LOADING THE PAGES, WE HAVE HAD TO REMOVE SOME OF THE PAGES OF RECENT AUCTIONS AS WELL AS SOME SHOWING SOME OF THE GORGEOUS CARS WE HAVE SOLD IN THE PAST FEW YEARS. If you would like to see some of those pictures I can email them to you along with prices realized.
Also, I had a page up with a list of most of the auctions we have done in the last 30 years. It also got pulled trying to get the web site to load faster. I'll try to get it up again later.
We have conducted most of the major collector car auctions and many of the high end antique auctions in Montana in the last 30 years. Many of them were before digital photography and web sites, cell phones and wireless sound systems. Some day when I get time I'd like to add some photos of those early auctions we did for David Burnham, the Marguerite Revear Collection, The Eva Brooks Estate, the Crane Mansion, The I G Baker decendency, Tony the Traders, The Maxine King Collection, etc., etc. We did most of the big ones.
It's fun to look back after 30 years at this and see how young I was and how much fun we've had in the auction business. Sometimes not a lot of profit, but almost always a lot of fun.

We all have these matching jackets and caps.
This is the registration line at the Redensek Auction last year.
Here we are selling the last few cars at the Redensek Auction
Look good in all those red and black jackets, don't we?
Easy to tell who is working for the auction company.
No greasy bums on my crew!

THANKS TO THE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WHO ATTENDED THE REDENSEK AUCTION IN GREAT FALLS in October of 2009.
SELLING prices are posted on the
Redensek Auction car list as well as with many of the pictures from
that auction. In order to keep the pages at reasonable size so they
will load fairly quickly, we have deleted many of the pictures from
past auctions that were on the site but the main pictures of the cars
will remain up for a while.
