Trouble is even private sellers think their oldies are worth mega bucks

Private listings are dearer than dealer prices, often.

Some dreamer had a decidedly average-looking Massey 3060 advertised for £18,500 a little while ago. You wouldn’t pay that from a franchised dealer with 12 months warranty!

why are most old massey etc going through cheffins at daft money
and the really clean genuine 6000 jd up where they are
cause they keep going , easy to fix
and every thing been dragged up on the back of high new prices
but some of the dealers are taking the pee , but good luck if they can e extract the margin some are putting on
like a 7.5 k tractor out of cheffins , ride home , power washer service and put 3.5 k mark up for a 40 year old classic

Them were the days
Not a care in the world.
Before bse, farm assurance, and all the other bolox

That was the time of the eec cereal regime where prices were set years in advance, same with sheep
The only problem was thatchers interest rates
