No, I'LL go one better than that!. Some guy approached us at a fair about 4yrs ago and wanted to sell a Farmall H to us, we went and looked at his tractor as it sounded like he just wanted to get rid of it, it turned out to be an old beat up very rusty unrestored H, lots of big dents in the tinwork, old rotted tires, old junky trip bucket on it kerosene tank was missing, original steel wheels had been cut off and regular rims had been welded in place, but cloride had leaked all over them for many years so they were in bad shape. Needed lots and lots of TLC and $$$ put into it. The guy says, "I don't know what it's worth..., but I'd like to get $4,000 for it", so we told him it wasn't worth anywhere near that much, offered him $1,000, which he refused claiming that it was surly worth a whole lot more than that. Far as I know he's still the proud owner of it.
