That's a funny story. They definetly failed to reach an agreement. There could be more behind it than just arrogance.
I can see how the seller might think his tractor is under prices after getting 10 to 15 calls asking about it, so he holds firm on the price.
One posibility is the younger fellow had stars in his eyes about tractors but really had no business buying any tractor at that time. The older fellow needed to talk the younger fellow out of buying anything, regardless of the price, so there wouldn't be be heck to pay when they got home.
Another possibility is that the tractor was not as much of a bargan as the seller thought it was, but the younger didn't know it yet. The older fellow look around the seller's place, sees all that equipment and realizes the seller has more money than the House of Winsor and the Pope put together, yet the seller still refuses to give the young fellow a price break on an over-priced tractor. The older fellow needs to prevent the younger fellow from over paying so he point out the negatives to either push for a lower price or get the younger fellow to walk away.
I don't sell retail for a profit, I sell to dispose of things I no longer need, so I usually price things to sell quickly. If 2 different buyers look at something I have for sale and walk away I quickly reconsider my price. I can't understand why the seller wouldn't just sell the tractor for $900 to $750 instead of the $300 to $500 he would get as scrap.

He'll be busy working and I�m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I�ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I�ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see.
