It still kind of depends on who is selling the stuff. If it is some smart butt, know it all, then I am dumber than a post on what is wrong with the selling item. If it is a widow or someone that is obviously in need I have fixed things and then told them it was worth more. If it was something that I really wanted I have paid them more money for the item. If I was trying to just make a buck I have told them what it was really worth and told them to advertise the item for that amount.

Got in a heck of a fight over a JD 3020 Diesel with the electric shut off. Found this one about 4 hours drive away from me. The guy said it just quit running and would not restart. He had changed the filters and still nothing. I tried to talk to him about what could be wrong with the tractor. HE knew more than anybody that was ever born about JD tractors and I knew nothing according to him. So I went and looked at the tractor. Never even got close to the injection pump. Did the deal. Paid him in cash and made him give me a PAID receipt.

HE got out one of his other tractors and pulled the tractor out into the street. He wanted to push it on the trailer with a loader. I told him I did not want to risk bending the fenders or three point arms up. He got all high and mighty again about how he wanted to load MY tractor. I told him I could get it myself. He stomped off an went to put his tractor away. I just took a jumper wire out of my pocket and hooked it to the hot side of the starter and the other end to the injection pump shut off coil stud. I bet the tractor did not crank over 5 times and it was running. I loaded it up and started binding it down. He came running back out and got all over me about "stealing" his tractor. I told him about how he knew so much more than I did so he should have KNOWN what was wrong with it. He took a swing at me and I knocked the wind out of him. Told him the next swing would get his jaw broke. His wife came out and was watching this all. I figured it would get ugly but she started to give him heck about how SHE had tried to tell him to listen to several other guys that had told him what was wrong with the tractor. I took off while she was tuning him up. All that was wrong was a bad key switch, no power going to the shut off coil. Middle son still has the tractor to this day.

So it all depends on the person doing the selling as to how I will act. Treat me fairly and I will help you out.
