Gambler - I've been out here in the sticks - going on 37 years now. I gave up looking about 15 years ago. I think there is some form of regional law/ordinance that basically says - "Any used agricultural equipment SHALL be transported East of the Mississippi R. prior to being offered for sale".
As far as used ag equipment - we are a barren waste land out here in the PNW. Now - I just bite the bullet and purchase new. But, be ware, it will be a cold day in Hades before I offer up any of my used ag equipment for sale. It can darn well sit out there on it field pallet and slowly turn to rust before I sell it.
