papaglide 541 #29 Posted February 8, 2014 What is over paying? If you want a tractor then you pay for it. I don't know if there are any "blue book" values for these tractors. I think that the amount that is paid for a tractor is dependent on a few factors: the amount of cash in the budget, I think that this is the biggest factor condition of the tractor for sale the price of the tractor for sale The bigger the budget the less I pay attention to price. I think that it is human nature to try to get things "cheaper" but not getting the tractor cheaper doesn't really define over paying does it? If there is a tractor out there that you want and it's $800 and you are only willing to spend $500 but buy it for the $800 does that mean you over paid? If I had the money, cost would be no object. But because I don't have the money cost IS the object. That being said, what I pay for a tractor has limits but the fact that I go over my limit sometimes doesn't necessarily mean that I over paid does it? I really hope that this made some sense!!! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jake217 20 #30 Posted February 8, 2014 What a great thread. I just did the math on my small collection. I don't think I've overpaid for any of them, but..., if a C-175 Series II or a C-195 shows up within 300 miles of me, I'm out the door, towing a trailer with a blank check taped to the rearview. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brrly1 1,146 #31 Posted February 9, 2014 Well it's been said already, I am sure it will be repeated several times over. Yes, been there done that but, it doesn't much matter if someone sees something they can't live without, then it's all over except for getting it home and enjoying your spoils. How many times has this happened? Too many times and still enjoying!!! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
6wheeler 586 #32 Posted February 9, 2014 I guess I am lucky. I have never overpaid for anything. My wife says its because I am a cheap SOB. (I have no idea what she is talking about). If I see a tractor I need? Then I will work out a deal. If it needs work? All the better. I never become attached to equipment and I am always willing to trade or barter everything. (Including my boys) BTW, I will trade 2 of them for something that does'nt only come by when it wants something. I can't trade the missus though. She's too mean. Never think you overpaid for anything????And, you won't. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
armyvetwh 3 #33 Posted February 15, 2014 Weeeellllll. i do not have any idea in i over paid on mine or not. I got my 8-4speed for about $50 complete. the guy was just going to scrap it. i paid $10 for the body. he was keeping the motor to put on a rototiller. i traded a tiller worth about $30-$50(complete and runing) for the motor.
