I sold a lot of tractors and i must have priced them way to cheap because they did not stay long . Even the ones that i tried to keep for myself buy over pricing them sold . Bought a one owner 806 off a guy out in N/W In. and gave him good money for it and bought it as a keeper . There were some things that needed fixed just small stuff LIKE a new clutch and a new T/A plus it was hard starting and needed a valve job and a new paint job lights fixed new seat new tires just small stuff . Yes all the parts were bought at my price but still a lot of money plus the price of the tractor . A guy showed up one day and wants to buy my 806 that i have never had in the field yet only driven up and down the road once and moved in and out of the shop. and set out in the field for a photo shoot for Fast Line . Well he wants it and keeps bugging me so i gave him a price that would knock his socks off of 8750 , at the time you could buy one any place in the country for 4500 to 5 for a good running off the dealer lot and less at the sales. when i gave him the price he looked at me and said OH ok and left . Figured that i had run him off and that was the end of it and went back to what i was doing and about twenty min. later he comes back with his wife and wants to know how to make the check out. I bought and sold a lot of 706 gasser and at the time they were selling for 32to 4500 , sold some of them to people wright around the shop and to my close friends . First one that i sold in this neighborhood was to who is now one of my closest friends . He was just starting to dig himself out of going totally broke and bankrupt . Sold him a 64 706 gasser and a set of four bottom plows the next year i sold him a 13 foot I H 370 disc with all new blades and bearings . Just about every piece of equipment on his place either i sold him or found it for him and the same goes for his brother. And oh i also sold one of my USED tractors to the local Friendly Case I H dealer so he could make a sale on a new baler and gave a six month warranty on the tractor . I also was a buyer for another dealership that dealt in Olivers , so any time i was at a sale and there was and Oliver or White i would call them and get and ok from them and buy it haul it . Now today prices are double of what they once were and the volume is not what it use to be and the sales are not what they use to be . Sitlesville is gone so that took a twice a month sale out Tri Greens is a shadow of it's monthly sale Rusty Mc Donald is dead Fletcher is gone . And several others have either slowed down to one sale every three or four months or down to once a year . Yes i bought a lot of DEAD ROW tractors for next to nothing and repaired them into a good working tractor that are still out there running and i have bought several out of the good row that turned into total JUNK and lost money on them because they were not worth the cost of repairing and sold them as JUNK to salvage buyers. did i get rich no but i kept a roof over my family's head food on the table and the bills paid and two kids thru collage . Did i enjoy what i was doing , you betya i meet a lot of good people , learned a lot and enjoyed the travel .
