546cowboy 302 #1 Posted April 13, 2013 You know I read here all the time about those great deals some of you get. Well this morning I found one on CL but was too late and I'm really bummed about it. I hope someone on here got it. Usually I check CL every day but yesterday I didn't and I missed a really nice looking 520H. The ad said Toro Wheel Horse $100. When I clicked on it, it said $100 make an offer and come get it. When I finally got hold of the guy he said he sold it, I asked what he sold it for and he said $100. I had emailed him offering $500 bu t he said he had already told the other guy he could come get it. :banghead: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevasaurus 23,291 #5 Posted April 13, 2013 You've got to give that seller credit. All too often the seller would go back on his word to the first buyer and go for the extra money. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

546cowboy 302 #7 Posted April 13, 2013 Don't own a cell phone and yes I do think that seller is a rare person with honor. I have had sellers who sold tractors out from under me knowing I was coming to get it. Yes I have been selling off some of my herd but I have to have something to do. I've never been a couch potato. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
