What Is My Tractor Worth? Private Sale.

[fruitcakesa]

When I decided to sell my L 4630, I was still looking for its replacement so I set the price high assuming if someone wanted to pay that much, good for me.
Over the ensuing weeks and months I received a number of offers that, in my mind, were too low.
Finally found the M and now I needed to sell the L to pay for it. By this time I had lowered my price by $5K and was at what I felt was a fair price.
Earlier in the process , before I had lowered the price, I had gotten a couple of offers at what would be the future lower price.
However, now that I had to sell asap, I was in a hard place. The next guy who called said he had cash and a trailer and would come over that day to buy.
Well he arrived ready to go and asked my best price. I came down another $1k and he said that he only had $1k less than my low number.
Well, a bird in hand... I took the cash. All in all I did ok. Basically I ran the tractor hard for 4 years, 800hrs, and got about what I had originally paid.
If you don't need to sell quickly, I would hold out for the best price. GLWS

Thanks for reply's, I'm going to hold on the 14K considering what the dealers are asking for there used tractors here, I think it is more than fair for the setup. It's hard to find local people to buy but for some reason everyone that has contacted me is within an hour. We have had a ton of snow this year and I think that's what's driving the interest in my setup..

Just sold it for $14000.

Well the guy had my tractor delivered on Sunday to his house, I got a call this morning from the guys wife asking if I knew anyone that might want to buy it, I asked why he didn't like it, she said he doesn't know how to use it..

Not only did I spend two hours showing him how to use it, I actually drove to his house on Sunday behind the delivery truck and I helped to remove the blower and installed the weight box and removed the pallet forks and installed the bucket for him.

I feel terrible about it, but if he doesn't like or want to spend the time to learn how to use it, I don' feel it's my problem.

I sold him a like new very nice tractor setup, I feel bad about it..

You put it up for sale, a person bought it. Done. Don't feel bad because someone doesn't like what they bought or don't know how to use it. It's not your job to make him happy!

Don't look back!
It is not your problem.
Now....maybe take that cash to the guys at Ocala tractor, and be sure to get a cab with A/C.
