I believe the lesson to be taken from this episode is that you should always sell general stuff, like vehicles that everyone can use in almost any kind of work or business, in auctions and you should sell the more specific vehicles for specific works in another platform, preferably not the auction where the buyers are buying to sell someone else and not use the vehicle.
Thanks again for letting us see the Business…. Most wouldn’t & that’s why you are loved so much on RUclips. There’s so much more going to happen for you Daniel in the future & you deserve it all mate !!! 👍👍👍
Probably worth a look but also if he can find the time to private sale then he'd get more too. That's the disadvantage to the advantage of being able to sell quick and fast at an auction I guess
A $2k difference isn't too bad in all honesty, especially for some older vehicles, shame the old original girl had to go, but such is the evolution of business mate, onwards and upwards to a bigger & better Ashville, great to see where you've gotten to so far, and are moving towards...a true credit to you!!!! Cheers from Aus!!!!
@@harrytrueman4216 I'm not familiar with vehicle auctions but I know with property auctions, at least this year and last, have been insane. I can think of 5 off the top of my head that were in an absolute state, completely uninhabitable, that sold at auction for way more than they would have on general market. A 2 bed bungalow I wanted sold for £180,000, plus around £15,000 in fees; that property was going to be worth about £190,000 fully renovated and needed around £40,000 spending on it... They can still go both ways, auctions are bloody risky for both sides! The trick is to not get emotional!

Auctions are always strange places - depends entirely on who is bidding. Often bargains can be had, but conversely, sometimes bidding frenzy sets in, and buyers pay far too much !
Love this video, so insightful on how trade auctions are and I love how transparent you are with the price of the lorries. Not a lot of people are like that 👍🏾
Hey Daniel just want to say its amazing how far you have got in the past 7 years. I have been here since the start and you have been a part of my child hood and it makes me smile how happy you always are with ur hilarious personality I'm ready for ashville Weekley see you then.
Just wanted to point out that you’ve been watching since the start but you call him Dan, even though he doesn’t like being addressed like that. No hate to you, just pointing something out
I've been following these auctions for some time now. I had intentions of travelling to the UK to check it out in person and hopefully purchase something...but then Covid hit. Haven't followed the truck prices much, but I have noticed the prices on plant seem to be higher earlier in the year before the "season" starts. Closer to the end of the year (before winter) the prices have seemed a bit lower. Looking out for their next auction in September 2021. It was really nice to see this from a seller's perspective though. Wishing you all the best.
also you need to watch out the political stuff happening in the background. When my city (stuttgart-germany) announced that no cars below EURO6 will be allowed within the city, many people panic sold their brand new diesel cars 70% below the actual price. That was on one hand sad and on other hand a blessing for everyone outside of stuttgart.
He will get a good price. Values are imflated becsuse of covid. Have you seen the used cars. My dad was offered his 1 year old mercedes glc 250d Amg premium plus pack car with 15,304 miles on it for list price. List price. 1 year into a pcp. Apparently they cant get stock. Covid has created a bubble and chip storages for new csrs arent coming through
Done well keeping those old dafs going. We sell ours at 5 years old because they just fall apart. New ones are now Scania. More expensive but far far better quality and lovely to drive.
It's about the volume of vehicles in an urban area, and it should be noted that other cities have introduced emissions controls, Bath and Birmingham for instance! London has a particularly difficult problem with a larger urban area and so many more people wanting to drive within that area. Obviously in sparsely populated rural areas there isn't such a build up of toxic fumes, but as we all know the country is aiming for zero tailpipe emissions. Daniel, do you think you'll see the first electric LGV on your fleet in the next 10 years?
Problem is that the worst thing for CO2 emissions is normally to throw away working vehicles to replace them with new ones. That's the trade off, cleaner air for higher CO2 emissions upfront. Best thing would be to tell people to keep what they have until it's no longer viable to repair it, then scrap it, then buy electric or hybrid.
Nice work and great results there. Yeah, older lorries do better especially in Countries where dealer tech like service computers etc are not available. Hence they tend to fetch more in the market place. Additionally, there are fewer of them available now as Europe moves on to more computerized vehicles and machinery.
@@lamecknyangaresi2189 Niko area, huyu jamaa ni inspirational sana. Anafanya kazi poa in an industry where it's not easy to enter and compete with incumbents.
But I think in London it is always a flat playing field, but here in Kenya you want to compete with Chinese companies, politicians etc.... Things here at home are tough.
I’ve used to sell lorries for a living, we’ve used to buy our trucks at auctions in Holland, the money you’ve got for your kit is unbelievably little, that auction I have to check out myself.
Thank you for this video, it was very informative as you touched on a lot of points concerning the whole auction system. Yes, you are right about the trucks that are no longer euro compliant, do end up abroad. I'm in Zambia and there's literally thousands of ex British trucks here and throughout Africa and as you said you skip Volvo did sell fir more because of simplicity of it. That's what Africa likes. Cheers and all the best in the future.
@@xB4UC sounds like a plan for sure. Might be a very lucrative one particularly if NZ hasn't got plans to align their emissions standards with Europe. Do you have a good dealer network for spare parts and service kits? That can be an issue if you have to keep importing parts or paying premium prices for European truck parts.
There is a very good chance that the people who bought his trucks cheap.. are actually going to ship them over to countries were they sell for much more. Don't be surprised if your local truck dealerships ends up having one of Ashvilles trucks for sale on their lot ;)
Thank you!!!! I'm a newly passed driver and have always had in mind to own my own business. That you for all your information and motivation. Salute ✊🏿👊🏿

Unless I was in some type of inception style film, I swear I was watching it and had to pause and now can’t find it. I need someone to tell me I’m not going crazy

Just found Ashville on my RUclips timeline somehow and I’m glad I did 👍 watched quite a few already and will subscribe. Looks a very competitive business to be in and stressful but anyway a great insight the the world of moving aggregate
Here's an explanation of why the older simpler machines fetch more than expected. The new lorries are absolutely no use in Africa or any less fussy areas of the world. So here's a perfect example - my thirteen litre 1999 Daf 85 tractor can be fixed with any spanner set (with a million km's on the clock), whilst my auto 11 litre DAF 85 tractor registered in 2018 requires a complete gearbox change at 55,000 km's (still well within warranty thank heavens) because the best brains at DAF and ZF couldn't figure what was wrong with it. Downtime period: 3 months.
What are you getting to replace these lot. Mercedes Econic City cabs with cameras instead of mirrors might be a great long term replacement. Looking forward to the unveiling.
I think those cams should only be on rigid trucks.in an artic you need to be able to move your head to change the angle you are looking at as the trailer bends like say on a tight roundabout just leaning forward while looking in the mirror gives you a totally different angle/view of your trailer.They are also a danger at night as any car with led headlights passing makes them flicker.There is no perspective with screens what you see is what you get I can't even see how they are legal on an artic
@@Felix-rising That's the future whether we like it or not. Better to get in with it. Software is able to identify stuff around the vehicle faster than a human can. Currently they are driver assist, soon they'll be fully autonomous.
@@samuelkmaina so the medium term future is to cause accidents until they are autonomous ? Bearing in mind the autonomy will only take them from A to B on roads so there’s a long way to go yet lol
I just looked up the local prices over here in Estonia. A 2010 Volvo FH 460 8x4 is listed at € 45.000. Granted, there are no low-emission zones over here.
If drivers “aren’t comfortable” driving a manual gearbox they’re not with having. Drivers are not the same quality as we had back in 70’s & 80’s. At least they could fix things on the road and not just park up and wait for a mechanic.
Losing my excellent Iveco van next month because of ULEZ and i cant afford a new van and obviously won't be able to sell it at a fair price. So pulling the plug on my livelihood.
Really good result there, you saved yourself a lot of work by going to auction instead of selling individually. I'm sure this will only make your company stronger.
NEVER EVER EVER sell your belongings at auction if you want to get decent money for them. Auctions are the worst of the worst. And remember, he has to pay seller's fees as well. He got shafted but some of us saw it coming from a mile away...
You should of brought in a private vehicle seller, would have made more per vehicle, he does all the leg work and takes 15% of each ( usually that percentage ) never the less a good video and can not wait to see the new wheels painted up with livery on
With auction, he gets his money same day and can go and put them right into the new kit with minimum time impedance to his business, as opposed to having to wait weeks/months for all the machines to sell
@@chocolateontoast arguably, but that’s if you’ve got time, in this case daniel’s planning on reinvesting that money back into new reg-compliant lorries which he’s going to lose a lot of money on anyway, might as well get all that hassle over with in one day and get the new ones on the road ASAP rather than hold out a couple of months in the hope of a few extra grand It all depends on the business’ circumstances
Well Daniel I’ve seen videos from you before and I’m impressed. Well done on your success and long may it continue. You seem to go about your business in a way that I like. Always keeping your vehicles up dated and in good working order. Being totally professional and skilled in your business. I have now binge watched all your Ashville Weekly’s and it’s taken me 5 days.

Haha loved the video I work there at euro auction so it was like being at work , I'm currently waiting to do my hgv so moving the lorries about is like free practice.
Can’t believe he estimated £18,000 for a 57 plate grab with the 12 litre engine 🤦♀️..all them lorry’s will be in Ghana by now anyway with about 30 tonne on there backs 😅
Daniel dont forget to factor in HUGE HUGE AUCTION COSTS AND FEES. ALL THE PRICES QUOTED ARE BEFORE FEES. NOT JUST DANIEL BUT ALSO THE BIDDER WILL PAY MORE THAN THE WINNING BID DUE TO AUCTION FEES.
Quite an eye opener this one. And the tipper @ 14.46. A million miles! Is that right? Don't know anything about truck's really so would that be on the same engine/gearbox etc. Incredible.
Great video & i hope you learned something by spending the day there? i was in the game (auctions) in the UK back in the 80's, and my old boss said "forget what the book says, forget what you have spent on it, the true value of anything is what somebody is prepared to pay for it"

excellent,you brought out the auction fever from a sellers perspective
8% commission, dang. That'll be 3,2 million on that 40 mil..
Ive sent antiques places taking 20%, so seems fair
Auctioneers normally take a %%% of the sold fee plus a fee to sell it in the first place! Some even charge an indemnity fee so must make 5 mil plus
If drivers “aren’t comfortable” driving a manual gearbox they’re not with having. Drivers are not the same quality as we had back in 70’s & 80’s. At least they could fix things on the road and not just park up and wait for a mechanic.

Cheers to the people who set that up, quite a load of work and time was put in to that.
I cant watch episode 47 it says its private ??
Very interesting the auction side of things and to get a birds eye view.
You should of brought in a private vehicle seller, would have made more per vehicle, he does all the leg work and takes 15% of each ( usually that percentage ) never the less a good video and can not wait to see the new wheels painted up with livery on
With auction, he gets his money same day and can go and put them right into the new kit with minimum time impedance to his business, as opposed to having to wait weeks/months for all the machines to sell
@@AhmedMohamed-vf6te But wouldn't it be smarter to wait?
@@chocolateontoast arguably, but that’s if you’ve got time, in this case daniel’s planning on reinvesting that money back into new reg-compliant lorries which he’s going to lose a lot of money on anyway, might as well get all that hassle over with in one day and get the new ones on the road ASAP rather than hold out a couple of months in the hope of a few extra grand
It all depends on the business’ circumstances
@@AhmedMohamed-vf6te Yeah that makes more sense thanks for explaining mate.
Well Daniel I’ve seen videos from you before and I’m impressed. Well done on your success and long may it continue. You seem to go about your business in a way that I like. Always keeping your vehicles up dated and in good working order. Being totally professional and skilled in your business. I have now binge watched all your Ashville Weekly’s and it’s taken me 5 days. You can work out how many hours I have had to watch. I’ve enjoyed all of them immensely.
@@7months644 hi Daniel that’s for your reply. I’m 60 and paralysed from the neck down I operate RUclips via a mouth stick. I do not understand what I should do with your concluding suggestion about WhatsApp sorry to bother you as I know you are extremely busy. As you may know iPad doesn’t let you use the genuine WhatsApp only something similar which doesn’t allow everything the iPhone WhatsApp does. Is this going to be a problem? It’s okay if you don’t answer this query as I have watched and clicked the 👍on almost all the videos you have made and so fully understand how precious time is to you. Stay safe, healthy and tell your mum you love her. Thanks 🤪
Hi Stephen, really sorry about that, the message you saw was spam, not from us. It’s now been deleted.
@@thisisashville not a problem I just didn’t understand it.
ulez and this new E10 is making them millions!
That was cool to see. I have nothing to do with this stuff but you made it enjoyable to see
Ashville during the week..what a treasure!
I know this video is 2 years old.. but you're my inspiration! I love you! I wish to have a youtube channel like you!
These trucks can make 100s of pounds per hour...in Ghana, to be precise, y'all look into it..
First time seeing a video from you. This gives me chills to see the people who make humankind move forward! All the best!
That transporter is easily worth 8-10k!
In the politest way possible I really could care about skips and aggregates but your videoss are incredible ! Really interesting and insightful how it all works. Proper bloke!
Are you American by any chance?
Imagine now what this ULEZ did to smaller businesses. Madness people need to STOP complying and not pay.

Daniel my brother...you are older...check out the Ashville emails my man. My 7 year old wanted his scooter resprayed in Ashiville colours. We sent you a picture through. There could be a market for mini lorries etc when getting the merch done!!! Take care
Daniel, couldn't you have put reserves on your items so you'd at least have taken the grab home.
I think u have to pay fir a reserve, it may not have been worth it
Haha loved the video I work there at euro auction so it was like being at work , I'm currently waiting to do my hgv so moving the lorries about is like free practice.
Can’t believe he estimated £18,000 for a 57 plate grab with the 12 litre engine 🤦♀️..all them lorry’s will be in Ghana by now anyway with about 30 tonne on there backs 😅
Daniel dont forget to factor in HUGE HUGE AUCTION COSTS AND FEES. ALL THE PRICES QUOTED ARE BEFORE FEES. NOT JUST DANIEL BUT ALSO THE BIDDER WILL PAY MORE THAN THE WINNING BID DUE TO AUCTION FEES.
What happened to weekly just disappeared
This just came across my recommended list, and now I'm hooked on your channel!
The older ones go for more money because there worth more export
Crazy to see how big you've grown your company into,well done bruv
Sadiq Khan, the worst thing to happen to london.
So so true. The truth really hurts.
Most probably he was lobbied to implement such staff in order to profit the manufacturers... My thinking though☺
Quite an eye opener this one. And the tipper @ 14.46. A million miles! Is that right? Don't know anything about truck's really so would that be on the same engine/gearbox etc. Incredible.
Moving the problem elsewhere indeed, hard to get your head around isn’t it.
Virtue Signaling, it just has to look good. Nobody cares about the effects and the environmental retards are happy
It's really not that difficult. Having polluting vehicles in the country's capital which has close to 10 million residents is just a bad idea.
Great video & i hope you learned something by spending the day there? i was in the game (auctions) in the UK back in the 80's, and my old boss said "forget what the book says, forget what you have spent on it, the true value of anything is what somebody is prepared to pay for it"
As you're in Leeds, can Ashville recommend any house renovators in the North that can achieve similar to what you've done at Yianni's house?
Googles your friend, get a drawing and collect quotes lol

Nice job, really great to see you explaining this so well.
It's sad seeing some of the trusty steeds being put out to pasture.
Euro Auctions will go onto strength to strength because people now know about them. It will be seen as a place to get a cheap lorry.
It’s not the air that’s different up north it’s us folk, tough as old boots, not like all the soft southerners 🤣🤣
Always found auctions fascinating and thanks to you Daniel, I may just attend one to buy a car and digger
Dude loves hearing himself talk. Went over why he’s selling 4 times. Ok we get it. Used,New,tax. Let’s go.
