Saw a deal in a regional farm classified one time- $4,500 price, which seemed about 2K under market price. Called the guy at 9 PM, he described the tractor, it sounded good. I asked about looking at it the next day (about 300 miles away)- he said someone was coming about 10 AM. I told him I would try to come down "sometime tomorrow". Left at o-dark-thirty, "just happened" to show up about 9:00 AM., with trailer. Tested the tractor, it was excellent, and kept one eye on the road for the guy coming. I saw dust cloud down the road, so I was just peeling off the last hundred dollar bill when he pulled in the driveway. Used the tractor for 2 years, sold it for $6,250. Moral of the story- 1) take cash; 2) take trailer; 3) get there first. The handshake deals are fine, but you gotta pass some money along too, or he'll just consider it a backup offer to anything better that comes along.
