Scam Ad for JD 4440

Ok, this one takes the cake, the 917 area code is a NYC cell phone number. Be funny to mess with the alleged seller, unreal how these people persist, given their lack of intelligence

One Main Street? That seems awfully convenient. On the other hand big city contacts do not seem too unusual as children are often selling things for their parents after a death or moving into assisted care. I can remember more than one Country Folks ad where somebody living in Rochester, NY was selling something for family who originated many miles away.

To expand on what I said previously quite a few families elect to hang on to the farm real estate after the passing of the parents as one of the kids plans to retire to the farm. The biggest priority is to right size everything to what the future goal is. Often there is not more than a couple hundred acres involved but rented ground is turned back to the landlord. So at that point the 80,000 dollar combine, the 250,000 dollars worth of tractors, and machinery that will flat out sit because it will not be used at all are dealt with. Sometimes people do not want all the income in one year so they sell a few pieces a year starting with the dairy equipment if there is no plans to milk anymore. Some people want more control as to where things go versus an auction setting or worry that they may not get top money versus just advertising and setting a price on the high end of the scale. I probably have not said anything new but just passing the compilation of stories I have heard over the years. Having been in the parts business at one point in my life get to hear a lot of stories. I worked in Rochester for a while and it was interesting to know why a set of five plow points was going to a city address. Not that stuff got towed up there although some of it did most people did not want anybody to know the farm address unless they were serious about buying something.

These days a cell phone number is basically just an indication of where you lived when you got your first phone. However, it is hard to reconcile the "address" and zip code with:

[i:654c4848f0]Our vehicles are priced cheaper in the country. Dont pay high city prices for scratch & dent vehicles[/i:654c4848f0]

If I lived closer I'd ask to take it for a test drive, maybe during next year's St. Paddy's Day parade?

I sent them my dog's credit information hopefully he'll get the tractor next week

i am still looking for the trailer it says is available in the ad. Never knew the tractor had trailer axles.
