G1900 on eBay

[MikeFromVA]

This eBay listing seems like a very good price. How good is this tractor? I was going to get a JD2210 new w/ FEL & 62MMM for about $13,500 - should I save the money and get this? How high should I bid?

My new home is on 7 sloped acres (1.5 lawn / 2.5 pasture / 2 woods / 1 swampy area)

The concern I would have is that the seller has no feedback rating. They could be totally legit, but as this might be their first attempt to sell on Ebay, problems could easily arise.

Otherwise looks like a good price (so far) to me. Likely because of the zero feedback rating, though. Be careful.

 

[MikeFromVA]

Not too worried about the 0 feedback rating - I would be paying in person...

He states in his auction to call or write him. I'd write him and see what he says about being able to take a look at it.

He's in Beltsville, MD. Not sure how far away that is from you, but if you are serious, it may be worth the drive. I think this one will have some heavy bidding at the end. $2800 surely won't be the winning bid.

it won't go for 2800,

we have three such used tractors in stock, all are $4200-5000.

It's not too far to look at - the problem comes down to time - the auction ends tonight, so I guess I'll hang around and see if I can get a bargain.

No way I'd give him a cent before I sat on it and cranked it up. I'm not sure how to determine if it's been stolen - guess I'd try to ask the cops if they have anything on the serial number.

exactly or git and c a bill of sale then call a jd dealership and then ask them to run it thru their pc system!!!! i would arrange this ahead of time with a name and # u can call !! call yer local dealer and tell him u have an aquaintance that has a jd but think it is too good of a deal!!! then ask him if u kin call them back and talk to the same service mgr. and run it thru their data bank and ifn everything checks out then ok...jist dont want a fellow tbner endin up witha charge of posession of stolen property!!! by accident and then the seller disappears....if it's too good 2 b true ...i'd b smeelin sumthin fishy??? better safe than sorry!!

Do remember EBAY's terms and conditions...if you win the auction, you are obligated to buy. If you're not willing to take the machine "as-is" for whatever you ultimately bid, don't.

The tractor is a Kubota. Why should he call a JD dealership? Wouldn't it make more sense to call his local Kubota dealer for information?

Thanks to all of you for your help. The tractor went for $3802 which seems like a very good price. I chose not to bid on it because I am so looking forward to a new tractor that my seat time would have been less satisfying with this tractor.
