I'm a little surprised, also. Usually the owner will give a fancifull price based on his wishfull thinking regarding the value of what he has. It is almost always extremely high, but, they usually they do give a price.

| | Ive ran into people that want a million bucks for it or they would rather let it sit. Some say they plan on fixing it some day. My favorite is when you get a phone number to the owner and its been sitting 20 years and you call and leave a message and they never call back and you see someone hauled it off.

| Yeah, I've heard owners tell me their peice is worth $100,000 since it was originally built in 1950. It's an antique. You got to deal with them, because until you talk to them, you can't seperate them from "Oh is that old thing still out there? If I give it to you, how long will it take to get it out of here?". I man gave me a late 1920's Brunner compressor, including the non leaking tank and original Robbin Myers electrical motor, out of a field in Lockport, NY. In enough cases, people can be reasoned with, if you have a plan that respects their sense of economy. Sometimes it was their daddy's tractor, and it isn't about money. They will never part with their memories of their daddy driving it through the fields. You'll have to respect that.
