Will you get calls from people who offer half the machine's value, want to tell you about their similar tractor, or make an appointment to see it and never bother showing up or calling to cancel? Seems to happen all the time over here, and is why i dread trying to sell something. Hope you have much better luck!
I put in there that the price is firm, if they buy the trailer and transmission together its 10% off, and I prefer to be contacted by email. We'll see how it goes. I've got some small stuff to put on eBay as well.
It is definitely here (and I guess everywhere) part of the "culture" to haggle over prices. Even worse, many advertisements people put up just say "make an offer", or here's the price but there's room for an agreement. Of course, it makes some sense if the seller says "brand new, defect free tractor" and then you go look and notice the oil dripping out everywhere, but otherwise, why not just put the price you want? Or else go the auction route? It annoys me like anything, because prices convey useful information, namely whether I should waste my time calling someone to buy something!
I was reading the Amazon preview of a book "The Lean Farm" and it kind of kicked me to start clearing out stuff. Though, heck, I've known I have too much junk for a long time. Its genetic-- my grandmother in Atlanta kept everything, and the one in Wyoming. The latter has a huge collection of rusting equipment in the field in front of her house. My cousin told me she would haul it off, but her father also won't allow it. I guess, someday, we might need something from the pile of junk, and it will be the week after we hauled it off to the scrapyard.
As they say, you can't take it with you past the grave, and more importantly, there may be someone out there who could use it, so if I offer it for sale at some discount from the price for a new one, its going to make that person's day, and I'm going to have a bit more room!
Nope...I just won't accept it!!! want to start spring cleaning and tree pruning.
