You can do whatever you want J.  I plan on fixing and selling 20 of mine this winter and bringing in more than that.  The important thing to me is that they are kept working.  :text-+1:

HELLO GUYS,  I ALWAYS INTERESTED IN THE MARKET DOING ON THESE TRACTORS. WHEN I BUY ONE I ALWAYS TELL WHAT I PAID FOR IT.  I RE-WORK THEM AND SELL IT MORE A PROFIT I GUESS.  A LOT OF HOURS BUT I ENJOY DOING IT.  JUST MY TWO CENTS WORTH.   THANKS

One great thing I've learned around here is people can be themselves most of the time.  Everybody's different and that's ok.  Just look at me.   :laughing-rolling:  

Oh Geno, you are different all right. Oh are you different.

Jason it's your money, time and :wh: do with it as you will, I see no reason for ruffled feathers. Wish I could have 'em all but #1- I don't have the space and #2- I don't have the money :)

Well maybe you bought something from a person known to the rest of us and it was a good deal. So the next guy comes up and says you stole that thing, I just bought one in bad condition and paid twice that. Or the deal was good and the other guy sold it because he was in a distressed situation and all you got it because that's all the money you could afford.  

 

Really, unless the buyer wants to tell you, which he will if it is what he wants to do, it is no one of anybody's business. A sale is between two or more folks and is usually private, especially when made between folks who are members of a group like this. Or maybe you bought it to do some minor repairs and then re-sell it. Say you found a 416-H for $200 and it had been sitting in a barn for the last five years. It not start and was covered with dirt. Of course the guy said it started and ran when it was last parked there. You bring it home, clean the carb, change the fuel line, put a battery in it and it runs great. Clean and polish and find a really beautiful machine. Now it's time to sell it. You already told everyone you only paid $200 for it. Human nature is such that most of us do not want to let a seller make a very large percentage profit, when we buy something. Why do most of us hate car dealers. Don't you feel like you have been raped when you buy a car from a dealer.

 

Now If you bought something from persons unknown and got a great deal, and really want to brag about it, that's OK. No one knows the other guy and no harm. Or maybe you just don't care about the sellers feelings.

 

I have bought things at a great price. When I want to I will put the price up there and brag a bit. But if I know or even think that someone might be embarrassed I keep my mouth shut. Common decency. I do believe it is not good form to ask someone what they paid for anything they buy. Of course I come from an age when these things were drummed into your head by your parents or in my case my Grandmother.

What's the big deal?.... see Nick's answer.

That's it, in a nutshell, right there.  If someone volunteers to share that information, it's up to them. It's SEVERELY IMPOLITE to ask.  If you're sincerely curious and feel you must ask, at least have the decency to preface the question with, "may I ask...."  and do it in a PM... not on the open forum.

I did not know TORO still put WHEEL HORSE decals on that late of models...

learn something new every day!

 

Good too... cuse its getting late in the day!!!.. :ROTF:

 

They put Wheel Horse on them all the way to the end in 2007. They just added the Toro logo to them.

 

Jason, that's a beautiful 314. It does look like new. Personally, I think you're doing a good service to the Wheel Horse world. Who knows how many of them you saved from being parted out or, worse yet, scrapped. I'm sure the tractors are better machines when you sell them than they were when you bought them. Some folks don't have the skills or desire to work on them so you've done it for them and they get a great tractor. It's a wonderful thing when you can make a buck doing something you love to do. :handgestures-thumbsup:
