Perhaps they have serviced it and will give it a small warranty. Like said, you could have bought it at sale. Good luck to them I say! I haven’t once met a customer that wouldn’t buy off them again. They must be doing something right

 

[clod h]

you are welcome to your view as I am mine

Everyone else has the same chance of bidding on it at a sale. I'm assuming they've got it home, cleaned it, given it a once over, replaced some parts, given it a service, offering a seasons warranty, might have to sit on it for a couple of years waiting for a buyer, undoubtedly have to haggle with said buyer, could have to transport it to the other side of the country, maybe wait for payment from the buyer, pay their own staff, have a premises to operate from etc etc.
If it was easy we would all be doing it.

£30k for an 1177 is going some way, theyre a great simple reliable combine, but even so getting on somewhat now.... nearly all parts still available though.

 

[lloyd]

Its upto them what they price it at.
Must be mint as going back a fair few years
but good luck to them.

Never dealt with them personally, but our neighbour bought a tractor off them that went seriously wrong after a month or so
It was an oldish Renault, think the problem was gearbox.
They stood by it and repaired it at no cost to neighbour, he was delighted with the service.
Maybe the over inflated price is to cover for every eventuality

I've never met a dealer that has done work until they have been told to .

 

[grass man]

Just had a look and it's certainly a credit to it's previous keepers. Funny how any lots of nice tidy items at auctions I'm interested in all ways make a crazy price and then you hear about items like this going at very good value!

 

[clod h]

as most of you say its up to dealer to price machine as high as they like I just thought a mark up of 15750 a bit rich it seems most people are ok with that so its seems well done doubledays subject now closed

So why the sour grapes , you could of bought it and turned a profit ,up to them what margin they put on it ,
But then a low loader ,storage shed ,workshops ,service staff ,maybe strip down into a container if going abroad , oh and forgot ,retail it and it blows up ,or some thing , who stands all that , ?‍ Maybe these .
Went to look at a tractor ,at tim robsons , ,looked mint , he said it needs looking at ,power quad ,would not work , he said if it needs a sensor , or complete gearbox it will get what it needs to make it right. Even if 10 k into it , have always deemed him to be straight and genuine ,
So they dont win them all , plenty give them a steam clean and polishoverhaul , and thankyou very much
