OK. ..... The main post was about setting a record price. And I guess, technically it did, as far as the numbers go, and recording the result.
I simply stated my opinion, about the record being set as a result of money flaunting. I don't know what else to call it, when something brings way more than it should. Right or wrong, that's money flaunting where I come from.
And it takes two to tangle when it comes to this. When it comes to buying something like this, that is way over priced. It's not a rich man versus a poor man thing. Quit contrary actually. Its rich man versus rich man. The poor man was likely out of this picture at the opening bid, not the final bid. That's a result of two rich people flaunting thier money. If nothing else, towards each other.
What difference does it make?? Well, quite honestly, it kind of makes the record setting price a little BOGUS. Not really any difference, other than that. The next guy that sells one that broke the previous record, will likely say, mine would of broke the record had it not been for a money flaunting war between two rich guys on the last one.
And, nope. Means nothing to me. I don't have a tractor that would even be remotely close to being a horse in that race. Record price could be 100 billion, and it wouldn't matter one bit, what so ever to me.
But, I can tell ya this, if I was the seller of this tractor, I'd be laughing all the way to the bank with the money, knowing the buyer spent way to much for it. If, I am trying to make a point at all here, that would be the point I am trying to make.
