Default Can anyone suggests an Auctioneer for a large Cub Lot?

Well, after 7 months of pondering the options of what to do with a huge lot of Cub Cadets and Cub Cadet parts, I have decided to reach out and speak to someone about having an auction.
To give an idea I have over 150 Cubs plus a 20x40 building full of parts plus a whole field of attachments on skids.
Has anyone here done this before (or have first hand experience with a friend who has) and if so, what was the outcome/success?
Can anyone here suggest an auctioneer who knows how to draw the right crowd or position parts to sell optimally?
I don't want an auctioneer who will hold up a $60 headlight panel for a 122 and say "Ok here we have 2 lightbulbs that sell new for $5"
Of course that's an exaggerated example, but you get my point.
Any advise would be welcomed.
Thanks group.

Cubs may be to small for them, but it might be worth a call. My cousin is friends with them.

You will need one w/long arms when it comes to advertising in order to get the "right kind" of crowd there.

Looks like way too much of the same kind of things.

The last auction I was at like that turned into a rout so to speak with
stuff, parts mainly, going for next to nothing and many Cubs not garnering much attn. at all leading to lo-ball bids, leading to withdrawal of the item from the bidding.

Good Luck!

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
