[QUOTE="rocfarm, post: 1841522, member: 42715"] There’s a difference between making good market decisions and insisting that a deal makes you money (which is of course fair), and convincing people that something valuable they would like to sell has no value. The first is good business. The second is stealing. When I bought my tractor, it’s market price with the accessories was at least 29,000, maybe 30,00. I told the seller that I could give him 24,000 cash. When he agreed, I told him I didn’t think it was a good deal for him and asked him if he was sure. When he said yes and that he just wanted out of the thing, we went to a notary and got everything done. The tractor dealership hated me, though, and wouldn’t talk to me. They had wanted to charge a premium to resell the tractor for him, you see. Had to go to another dealership for my service and warranty guarantee (the tractor only hadn’t hours and two years left on the warranty). If he had been a close friend, though, I would have felt real uncomfortable. Actually sold one of my prettier pairs to a friend at a discount to market price this last winter. Just couldn’t play hard-selling marketeer with a buddy. He should get almost all the money for the pair back from the steer calf come September the way prices are going. [/QUOTE]
