4 bottom 5 bottom turning plows

I ran across an IH 4 bottom plow and a JD 5 bottom plow. The IH is a one wheel trailer type that hooks to the lift arms. The JD is a 3PH type. I don't want them to keep but wondered if there is a market for these plows. If so, what do you guys think the values would be? FYI, I'm in North MS
 
They seem to go pretty cheap when I see them sell where I live in Mi. A good 2-3 bottom mounted or trailer plow will bring more.
 
Way too big for that, too much trouble to haul that big of a plow let alone a tractor that could lift and pull a fully mounted 5 bottom plow. You would need a BIG semi to haul an outfit like that. Then you would be so big you would leave nothing else for any body. Most plow day plows will be 2 or 3 bottom with some 1 bottom or a very few 4 bottom and you will find the 4 bottoms usually setting. The 8010 JD was first to supposidly handle a 5 bottom mounted plow.
 
The market for the 5-bottom mounted 'here' if it has throw-away shares (HS or NU bottoms) is for those parts to convert a couple older, smaller plows from the blacksmith shares. Unless it is a late model 1000 series with auto-resets, then it would be worth something as a useable plow.
 
The way I remember it is that JD had an 8 bottom fully mounted for that tractor. AC had a 5-14 fully mounted for the D17...I"ve seen that. It was on very light soil.
 
Plow day last summer in Van Wert county, Ohio. The custom fully mounted 8 bottom plow and tractor was hauled from hundreds of miles to be there.

A couple of years ago I sold a real nice 710 IH 5x16 plow for $350 to the first person that called...After getting 10 more phone calls I realized I could have easily had $500..

However,last fall I bought a decent MM 5x16 plow for $75 to save it from being junked.....It had a brand new tail wheel tire....There were 15 plows on this sale...
