Tanklord, Had almost the samething happen to me. I was the only grandkid that ever helped my grandfather on his farm. Always loved to ride along with gramps wheneaver I could.
He retired, sold the farm and moved to town. I was still alittle to young to buy any of his tractors but he sold the old Allis WD to my cousins husband who farmed with it up until about two years ago. He decided to get out of farming and was going to have a auction to get rid of all his stuff, including the WD. All my cousins kept on me to buy this tractor for sentimental reasons-besides I wanted it really bad myself. My cousin asked him to sell it to me on a first offer kind of thing but he told her if I wanted it I would have to go to the auction and bid on it. I even called him a couple of weeks before the auction to see if he would sell it outright to me. At the time I offered to give him up to $1200.00 for it, but all he would say is if I wanted it I would have to bid on it at the auction. Showed up the day of the sale and picked it up for $700.00. So after the auctioneers toke there cut he really didn't make that much on it. He still won't talk to me to this day, like it's my fault that he lost money on it. I guess you get whats coming to you.
