SELLING PRICE

[bazzer]

why cant dealers just put the price they want on an item it would save us having to ask all the time seems pointless to me to not do it.................................

Most baffling is when you phone up to ask the price on POA items they get cross....

That's exactly the response they expect and want, get you on the phone and talk a deal....

I got to the stage now that if they cant be bothered to put the price on ,I cant be bothered to call

Latest wheeze is to tell you " The price I quote is only valid for 7 days ". I can't help feeling amused when the tractor is still in the yard unsold a month later......

 

[MrNoo]

I don't call

No, I wont call out of principle.

Presumably because it's different prices for different people. It lets them hike the price for those ringing up keen.

When i see an ad with poa i just scroll on down. If they cant be upfront about price they deserve to be left stuck with it imho

 

[Sid]

Or when they advertise a machine.....but its replacement won't be delivered for another 6 weeks.
Well its not for frigging sale then is it.
I don't go to Tescos and they say well here's the deal the beef you want is still in the field atm. Should be here week Tuesday do come back then!

Or for those who are known to be a problem.

I searched TFF last night to try and find the answer to this very question, as maybe it's been covered before. No luck though .
I guess the answer is if they don't bother stating the price, then don't bother asking . Really annoying.

I think it’s related to you having a px
If your asked if there’s a px, they inflate price to make you a better offer on your px

At the moment, with work, home schooling and farming, machinery purchases are looked at on an evening on the tablet. POA don;t make the short list to be called the next day as i don;t have time to ring all the POA. Its only those who put a price and then there is a shortlist

 

[Bill Turtle]

I noticed some sites give the option to filter out POA.

 

[betweenthelines]

Some farmers are just fixated on "getting a good deal" i.e. a big discount

If a farmer gets 20% off something ticketed at £5000 he thinks he's getting a better deal than a measly 12.5% off a £4500 priced machine.

It’s because they realise your a time waster that hasn’t bought anything since the millennium!

I noticed recently on some buy and sell page on fb for farm machinery that only properly priced adverts will be allowed and none with poa or priced somethin like 123456 or 876543. So basicly there sayin either advertise with price or stick ur advert up ur hole. Proper order

I think it's because farm machinery can go up in price and they don't want to be caught out?
Say they value a trailer at 8k but advertise it as POA, but then an identical one sells in an auction for 9k they then ask more for the one in the yard.
It would be more difficult if it was advertised everywhere for 8k!

Feel like messaging them “£123456 seems a bit much, would you take £113456?”
