I don't read the classifieds unless I want to buy something. If I find what I want, a price is nice, but wouldn't make me do without if it wasn't there. I ask straight out what the price is though. Sometimes people just don't know what they should charge for something.

Here in Germany it was and still is a common practice to collect manure in a tank, add water, and splash it out on the fields as fertilizer. The older tanks are just right to use as water tanks for the pasture. Usually 1500 liters, trailer mounted, and you can get an automatic drinker that mounts on them. Pull it home, fill it, and park it on the pasture. Anyway, called about 1 and the old guy had quit farming and was cleaning up his place and didn't know what to charge. Went to look and make an offer and got it for free when he found out I wasn't a scrap dealer and was going to use it. Also got a set of harrows, couple of wooden wagon wheels, and some other goodies that I'll never use but never part with. He was a POW of ours during WWII and sent to somewhere in MI until the war was over and loved it. His brother was taken to Russia and never heard from again. It was a long visit but a great experience. Ended up moving a bunch of stuff for him over the next couple of weekends because I felt bad for not paying anything and wanted to here some more stories.

Had opposite experience also.
