Selling my MX5000

[AB4D]

JeremyL,

I sold my BX-23 on ebay last year. The first pitfall to avoid is not to use Pay-Pal, although the pay service works, IMO the fees are way to high. Hopefully, you can get someone local to purchase the tractor. Even though I listed my tractor on ebay, the purchaser lived only 60 miles from my house, so it was a cash and carry sale. In your auction clearly list all terms of the sale and state the condition of the tractor, also state in the auction that there is no warranty, and the tractor is sold as is. Concerning payment, I would not let the tractor out of my sight until I had the cash in my hand. If the purchaser is serious about the sale he should be resonable about your payment terms. Do not accept payments through some kind of transfer of funds, and most important do not give out any of your personal bank information such as account numbers. If the person brings you a cashier's check you should check with the issuing bank to make sure the check is real because a fake cashier's check can be produced with a computer. Hope this helps, good luck with your auction.

She is pulling a no-till seed drill and planting NWSG, native warm season grasses. The drill was a free loan from the fish & wildlife dept.

I understand the concern about bank information. But I did a wire transfer for a piece of equipment (required seller to send me bank information) Was fast and easy and sale was done in hours. Your mileage may vary. I had several conversations with selller, and we exchnaged scans of drivers license, home and work numbers, etc. The trust was very high.

I bought my tractor off ebay. Well sort of, the pictures were so poor that it didn't get very many bids. Whaile I was the high bidder I didn't hit the reserve. We agreed on a price after and I drive the 45 miles to pick it up...cash in hand.

So..
1) plenty of quality pics
2) set a RESERVE price (lowest price you are willing to go), if less...no sale
3) If you are lucky connect with someone close
4) be prepared to have someone buy it, drive 3 hours to pick it up...then walk on you, get some money up front $500 or so via paypal or bank check.
5) clean it, paint it, touch up, etc. It'll add value

6) what everyone else said.
