Ryan, probably without meaning to, you have sounded very anti-Texas in your messages here. I don't think the state or location has anything at all to do with it. I'm not from anywhere near that state, so hopefully I'm not partial to this. :) You are kinda insulting a whole regoin here if you look back at your messages - that usually does not go over well, you are painting with a very broad brush. You may wish to clear that up a bit more than you have? :) There are a few million honest people in Texas, I think you are calling them all thieves with the title & some of your comments...

I think the problem is that you have made several (many?) deals on a handshake, and ran into 2 that did not turn out to your satisfaction at the same time. This has nothing to do with any state or location, and you probably shouldn't have implied a certain location had anything to do with it?

I think waiting over a year to pick the thing up was a bit negligent on your part so you can shoulder a bit of the blame here too, and you may have, but the anti-Texas thing kind of overshadows your other comments...

But I do understand that you were not treated fairly, the seller should have stated his policy to you at the sale, and should have followed up with a 30 day cut-off or some such before just selling the tractor again. Certainly you do have a gripe about that. Legally you should have gotten the resale money back.

I'm from Minnesota, and the law here also is that if something is sold & is not picked up for a year, it can be resold. If the owner happens along, they should get the money tho - I do understand that you were not treated right.

It's kinda like this: If you have some expensive looking packages sitting in plain view in your car, and they are stolen, and the police ask you if you locked the car & you say no - the police will ask you what the heck you were thinking? And probably won't work real hard to solve your case. Sure, no one _should_ steal your packages, but if you don't make an effort to safeguard your own property _at all_, well then what do you expect?

The guy shouldn't have screwed you, but you really have some responsibility to pick up your property in a reasonable amount of time, and blaming a whole state for 2 shiftless characters isn't right either.

If you only have 2 bad deals out of 85, I think you are doing very well. You will find at least 2 bad dealers here in Minnesota I'm sure. :)
