Before you could take a drive down to the country side and guaranteed your find a good or very fair deal on used equiptment and/or automobiles. Just sitting in the front drive way with a for sale sign. Now everyone is greedy and pushing every penny they can. I blame programs today like storage wars, pawn stars etc... giving the general puplic a new outlook for private sales. Example I bought a used 1980's bobcat in the early 2000's for $400 from a dairy farmer. I enjoyed this machine and when i wanted to sell it in 2007 I got $3200 for it very easily but then again I put about $800 in parts and paint in it. So whats with this? People thinking there entrepreneurs and haggling.
