Market value.

The price I get for grain changes every day - sometimes 50 cents a day per bu!

Fuel, fert, seed, feed, they all change weekly in price.

If I need a part for the combine or planter, I can research and bargin shop in the off season, or I can need it that day and pay a bonus for the item.

Either way, that is _my_ buying deal, not for you to judge.

Kinda bothers me that you are judging sellers on this, and that is the key to me.

It's up to the buyer what they want to pay. Market value that day.

It's common for the earilest sweet corn to cost more than at the end of the seson. In your view, everyone should sell their sweet corn or hay or whatever for the bargin price all season, or they are evil?

Water costs .25 cents for 100 gallons or so at the city spigot. Anything over that makes people evil - 50 cents or $1.50 a glass, what a rip off.

A radiator can be a good value at $156 if you _need_ one. A glass of water is a fine deal at $1.50, and better for you than the $2 bottle of pop.

You shouldn't judge people.

In my world of farming, grain and cattle prices change every day; feed, fert, fuel, seed prices change every week. Land rent went from $125 an acre to near $300 an acre around here.

Prices change.

That fella that paid $156 for the radiator might think he got a real good deal for the ease & time in which he got it. He might have written his ad espcially to motivate a seller and is very happy with his purchase.

Why should you sit in judgement of people on this? I guess that's why this topic bugs me - seems it's not right to judge people when you don't know the story. I buy stuff on my list of options, I don't judge the sellers on what they are doing.

You have a difficult time facing 'market value'.

I have a difficult time understanding your right to judge people.

And so, we disagree. :) That's cool.

Today's Featured Article - History of the Nuffield Tractor - by Anthony West. The Nuffield tractor story started in early 1945.
