It always amazes me to see how cheaply some tractors go for in the midwest. I've also noticed a lot in california going for DIRT cheap.
It's all supply and demand.
In the northeast you there's a lot of money. You get many more collectors who will pay anything, driving all prices up.
Midwest I think you have lots of people looking with lots of people selling. That keeps prices competitive.
Out west you have small number selling, with a smaller number buying. That keeps prices REAL competitive.
Generalizing of course, but it does matter, quite a bit.
On top of that, there's luck in timing.
You might have the most common chunk of metal in your possession that would normally be valueless, unless there's one guy who wants it right NOW, and nobody else happens to be selling.
