jonnny: An add is almost never an indication of the actual selling price. I wouldn't put a lot of stock in most advertising I've seen, there are tractors in the YT adds have been cropping up off and on for 2 years, maybe longer, but they never sell. Just try one of your own at a price you think it's worth, see how many inquiries you get. I do that with my 130 every once in a while, no one ever calls, doesn't really bother me, I guess folks don't think it's worth as much as I do. Actual auction selling prices are a much better indication, however unless you were there condition remains unknown. At least you know two folks came close to agreeing what it's worth. Geography makes a big difference, so does tractor size. The little one often out sell the big tractors. Styling has an impact, late model letter series often sell for better prices the 00, 30-50 and 40-60 series tractors. Personally I think more folks like the letter series styling, however there is another factor, letter series are quite simple, thus don't break the pocket book at repair time.
