I hear these words all the time when I show stuff of at a tractor show or a car show. people say it to me (What is it worth). I look at them and I say it is not for sale. To me as the person who reconditioned it or restored it I think of all the long hours and money I put in to the project. I realise that I will never get paid for my long Hours of hard work but some how the project has been a good learning experance. On Automotive the serails numbers tell every thing the research is long in finding what the Automotive had in it but turns out to be rewarding. On tractors I still learning but for I.H. tractor they have casting dates that tell when it was made. To a buyer the Question is (What is it worth) he already know what he wants to pay not careing of the quality but the looks of the machine. It could just be sanded down and painted but if it cheap he will still buy. I guess what is it worth means to all of use what we think itis worth to us as the owner of that fine machine.
