Well,..... you cannot see my reserve,..... so I don't understand your "reserve must be too high" comment.
If you think the reserve should be under "$3150", you obviously have absolutely no idea what a TLB like this is actually worth?
The 3400 TLB I am selling is in the best condition anyone will find anywhere.
The reserve is WELL above $3150.
If the machine doesn't sell I will keep it, and will consider selling the Kubota L48 instead.

You mentioned, "I am unable to get the E-Bay photo zoom function to work."
If your uploaded pictures are under 1000 x 1000 pixels in size, the zoom feature won't work.

That’s 2 wd and doesn’t have a shuttle shift transmission. I don’t know how much he wants for it but it’s nearing a fair price IMO.

Apparently you are unfamiliar with E-Bay.
When the bidding is started low ($100 in this case), and early bids need be only $2.50 apart, (at current price, bids need be only $25 apart), there can be MANY bids.
Number of bids usually has little or no relationship to final auction price.

If you had looked a bit more carefully, you would have observed that there is one bidder (with zero feedback) who has (now) made 54 bids.
54 bids under my reserve, absolutely DOES "say something" to ME!
It says to me that there is one bidder who does not know what he is doing!
There are actually only TWO different bidders since the $200 bid.
What do YOU think.... that..... "should say"?


$3850?.......is an interesting comparison you make!
Guess you did not compare photos,..... and apparently entirely missed the backhoe as well.

This isn’t an insult but an actual question. How much do you think it’s worth compared to A your Kubota backhoe and similar models or B a 90s era full size TLB? On one hand it’s in very good condition. On the other hand it’s ancient, 2wd, gasoline and not a shuttle shift transmission. This might be one of the things that’s worth more to the owner than anyone else. I wouldn’t sell my 1 ton dump truck for a price anyone is likely to pay.
