I recently put an ad in our local paper looking for a specific model JD. I had someone call me and said he had what I was looking for. I asked him to describe the tractor and what he was asking for it. Spent about 10 minutes on the phone with him and returned to the subject of "asking price" several times. He was reluctant to give me a price, but he suggested I come look at it and make an offer. So, I drive 45 miles to look at the tractor. Spent 15 minutes checking the tractor over and then asked "what are you asking for it?". Spent another 45 minutes talking to him and repeated the question three more times as to asking price. He would not say what he wanted for it. So, based on what I saw of the tractor and condition I told him what I was willing to offer. He quickly responded that he has decided to keep the tractor and not sell it(???) Do you think he was just "market price checking" or was his opinion of the value of his tractor much different than mine. A 90 mile, 3 hour lesson about getting the asking price on the phone.
