I bought a bigger traqctor one late Februiuary, so by April I was getting kinda anxious to find a field cultivator to fit it.
Dealer had old 45 ICH for $1200, that was a little steep but was thinking I'd have to settle for that.
Ad in the paper, same field cultivator for $700, not too far away even.WQent looked at it, and said I'd take it, who do I make the check to?
The 2 fellas selling it looked real disappointed, and I wondered what was up. The ysaisd they guessed they'd let it go for $600 then.
I guess I took all the fun out of it, they liked to dicker on stuff and here I was offering full price. I almost didn't get it, they looked so disappointed!
Other times I go look at something, and offer about 10% less than the asking price, and sheez - I'm about run off at gun point, hostility, wghat they are asking is what they want & I'm really insulting them to offer any less....
As a buyer, it's kinda hard to get all these mysterious rules that sellers have. Seems to be like a cult, you have to be in the club or no one will sell to you.
I try to stick to auctions, these private sales are still a mystery to me, too many unspoken rules.
You probably did good asking for cash, but man it gets hard to be a buyer any more. Would you really want to drive up some rural driveway with a wad of several 1000 in your pocket to an unknown place? That's got all sorts of bad vibes in it too for us buyers.

But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
