My 80+ grandfather has a John Deere 60 that he advertised for sale a year ago for $4000. Nothing special about it, just a good running original condition JD60. I told grandma at the time that I was interested in buying the tractor but that $4K was too much, if and when grandpa was willing to reduce the price to a more realistic level then I would buy it. Nothing more was said.
Fast forward to a few days ago, I was talking with an acquaintance of mine when he said that he had just bought my grandfather's John Deere 60. He would not say how much he paid for it but he did admit that it was less than $1000, knowing the guy, he would not buy it unless it was CHEAP, so I am thinking he payed more like $500-$700. Grandpa would not tell how much he sold it for either.
I told the buyer that I had previously told grandma that I wanted the tractor but that grandpa was asking too much for it at that time. The buyer said that he would be willing to sell it to me for $1500.
I would have been perfectly willing to pay grandpa $1500 for the tractor, but the fact that this other guy bought it for 1/3 to 1/2 that price really bothers me. Grandma must have forgotten that I wanted the tractor, but there is really nothing she can do now.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
