The original subject was "Deere toys loosing value?".

They have been all over the place in price lately. I'd say you did better on the metal rim one if the rims are good on it. I bought a 3020 with 4 levers and metal rears for $30 last winter (JAN 2019) but it was a really good repaint. Figured the paint job is worth something. Anyway those tractors here will bring anywhere from $12.50 to $50 or so depending on the variation. The ROPS canopy 3020 seems to do better than any of the others anymore, getting hard to find one with a tight canopy.
 
For sure. I went to a sale January 16 and I won just 6 out of 306 lots. But thats ok, cause I've been on sales too where I've won 30 or 40. Heck of a lot easier hauling 6 back!
 
Especially the big ones . I remember why my ag class went to the Tulare world ag expo . Me and my friend bought so many toys we almost had to ship home because they wouldnt all fit in the van
 
John Deere toys are way too common. JI Case, Oliver, and Allis Chalmers are.harder to find. Case toys are.very hot right now.
 
I bought these at a flea market in May of 19. I gave $8 for one, $10 for the other. The $10 one was the first edition with metal wheels and a 3pt.

I think Deere poisoned the water by coming out with so many new models all the time. It got to where there was no way to keep up with them all. You'd go to a show and there'd be two dozen new ones that had come out since the last show. The price got so stupid high on the new stuff too. That was the reason that I got disgusted and pretty much stopped collecting toys. I wanted all the two cylinder club tractors as they came out. They were running about $40. All of a sudden a new one came out and it was $100. I asked several vendors why and they all just said "They didn't make as many this year.". I was going to shows years later and there were new one unsold yet. I bought one when they came out that year, but when I got home, I was so disgusted, I was ready to put them all on a wagon in the front yard and give them away. I was totally over collecting that day. I haven't bought a new one since.

If I find a real bargain like I did on those two 3010s, I'll buy them, but I look mostly for Oliver and True Scale at yard sales and flea markets.

Flea market vendors tell me that there's no sense bringing a Deere toy with them. They say there are so many of them that you couldn't give one away.
 
Yep. Really the only club tractors still doing well are the more recent ones which, ironically, are not two cylinders (3020 Orchard, 4000 Low Profile, 2520 High Crop etc.) I always liked the 4020 and 6030 so I have a bunch of those in toy form. Otherwise I don't collect Deere much, like you said, just too much of it out there.
 
I have one like the darker one but it has 3020 filters on the left like yours does and 3010 fuel filters also on the right.? Farmer must have been buying fuel from keller Strauss and needed the extra filtration to get the dirt out I guess
 
Yes they have made to many even I cant buy them all I buy the ones I want and thats it no sense even trying to buy them all unless your Donald nnalert . All the toys are getting so expensive you cant buy them all . I remember when 1/64 tractors were four or five dollars implements could be less than a dollar .
 
Yes i remember when 1/64 scale tractors were less than 3.00

And implements were less than a 1.00

Now look on ebay 1 tractor is 15-35 dollars and implements are 15-45 these 2 prices are opened not in pack

Those in pack are are even more
