Most places, most reasonably savvy folks probably wouldn't pay that much for a tractor in that condition. Key word is "most". There is always a "sucker" who might be induced to pay more than what can be had 'just down the road' for far less and possibly in better shape. I've been that sucker more than once too often because my optimism of it's potential overrode what should have been criticism of it's flaws.
Besides, you never know what they are going to use it for, or how desperate someone is for something "just like that", or what the local market for well used equipment will bear. As something to restore and drive on parades then set in a barn, it doesn't look to be worth that much in that condition. If it's reasonably sound mechanically and going to be used for at least occasional farm work, it's far cheaper than payments on something new.
It's value to the seller may indeed be more than what what you or I may be willing to pay for that piece. If so, he can keep it, and at that price he probably will.
I know I wouldn't part with my SA for "what it's worth" to someone else. Shoot, if I had the extra cash, I'd almost be willing to pay too much again for another, but hold your offers - I'm in enough trouble already with the better half with buying stuff needing fixing.
