I had a similar experience last year. A man was selling a running and decent Hart-Parr 18-27 on Ebay. I had been looking for an unrestored 18-27 to purchase. I called the guy, got all of the details, and told him I may bid on it. He stated that he wanted to get something like $2,500 for it, and that a local person was going to bid that price before the auction ended. I placed a bid on the ending day, and after a short bidding war, I was the winner for about $1,500. Obviously, the local guy didn't place his high bid. Boy, was I excited. I e-mailed the seller telling him that I won his 18-27. Within minutes, he phoned me all apologetic, saying that he had a dilemma, and that he had already sold it to the local guy and so I couldn't have it. He said that his son was supposed to have ended the auction early. I was very upset and posted negative feedback for him. I believe that he left the auction running hoping that the bidding would go up over $2,500. When it didn't, he got caught on the losing end of a legal transaction. I have seen a number of old tractor auctions pulled at the last minute, and then see them relisted again later.

In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
