I think the guys have, as usual, summed things up pretty well. The buyer wants a good deal and the seller wants to make as much as possible. I suppose they're hoping someone will come by and "have'ta have it" no matter what the cost.
I just bought an Allis Chalmers B off E-bay a couple months ago for $900. With shipping and all, it cost almost exactly $2000. I really wanted an un-molested B to tinker with and get some use out of and I wasn't having any luck here in Michigan finding one.
Sure, one for sale locally for $2000 would be thought of by most people as being WAY to high. BUT, to me it would have been worth it to not have to deal with the bother of shipping and purchasing something sight unseen.
I'm not sticking up for people who try to sell tractors for a crazy price, don't get me wrong. I guess if they want to see what they can get is one thing, but to keep the price jacked way up indefinitely is a little silly on their part.
Either way, I LOVE my little B. Now I just need a little hobby farm to use it on!
