I buy a lot on Craigslist and have sold some too. There are time wasters on both sides of that road. To fabricate an example, you would figure that a fella asking $1500 for a non-running Farmall M would be looking for somewhere around $1000...a fair range for a good running one. So you look at it and see you can get it running cheaply and quickly. You explain to him that it is not a running tractor and $1500 is too high. You offer $5-600 hoping he will agree but knowing you can give him $1000 whilst having some fun dickering.

Or he will take the engine off it and put it in his go-cart or some other such idiocy. Meanwhile, you have $30-40 gas into a round trip waste of time. For this reason, I will try to feel out the seller to see if he is negotiable on price. Any indication he is firm on an inflated price and I will not waste my time traveling to see it...and I tell him as much.

I think the furthest has been the Two Cylinder 7 in the Amana Colonies last year. Lots of stuff, lots of people. I've also atten
