I made savings of about a third on retail price of what I won. What did the near new Amazone make in the end?

Wasn’t far away from the price of a new one once you added the buyers premium. Did anyone see where the Topcon/Amapad X30 and receiver made? Looked to be the bargain of the day for a while

Each item was about £1500 when I last saw them.

The 2022 Amazone ZA-V 2600 made £8,400. When you add 15% buyers premium it was £9,660. Amazone advertising the same machine brand new for £9,850 on farm!

I wonder if some people don’t know about buyers premium? When I put my max bids in I allowed for that and about 10% off what the item retails for. Some of the stuff I got outbid on, you could buy new for the same or less on amazon.

Amazone was not going to let it be given away

Yes got told earlier today and just been confirmed by a mate that used to work there as a salesman

Seems to have been a perfect storm, cereal price crash, wet weather, SFI, over stocking due to long build times since Covid, machine price rises putting potential buyers off, poor quality sales staff, etc, etc.

Couldn’t agree more. We are all feeling the pinch. New SFI regs won’t help.

Plus effective interest rates have doubled in 18 months and this is now costing a lot to fund the trade-ins stood in dealers yards

That explains why after 3 weeks they haven’t turned up to do our 500hr Merlo service, it’s now gone past 550hrs.

Guess the next problem will be Merlo claiming we’ve breached the warranty terms because we can’t keep up with their dealer merry go round.
