Tom_Byrne 0 Posted April 1, 2007 I know this auction shows how far this hobby has gone, and how expensive it could possibly get(or has already gotten). Hard to believe I bought my fist Landlord with deck, vac system & cart for $650.00 six years ago. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=007&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=170095403746&rd=1&rd=1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RayS 80 Posted April 2, 2007 Seems a little high. But if motor is in good condition you are still getting mor for your money than you can if you buy a MTD. Looks like a clean tractor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tacey 0 Posted April 2, 2007 I believe that was a 7 day auction, allowing buyers who might be interested enough time to notice. Another factor could be location. The buyer may have been local. The price really escalated during the last 2 days,especially the last hour, and the eventual buyer only made one bid, the winning one. Good deal for the seller. Grandpa would be proud.

HubbardRA 19 Posted April 2, 2007 I feel bad about this one. A guy I work with was looking for a tractor to move dirt and mow with around his new home. I showed him this one. I told him $750 would be a good price. He was Bidder3. He said it was just what he wanted, mower, blade, and trailer. Now I am trying to locate another for him within a few hours of here. He had family near that one so he could have picked up the tractor on a trip to visit relatives. I couldn't believe the tractor sold for that much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Donzo 1 Posted April 2, 2007 I bought my Simplicity tractor on e-bay last year and I've been tracking them ever since. Anything near the east coast goes for about 50% more than what they're going for in the Midwest. I see tons of simpliciitys for sale for $300-$500 out west. Those same tractors will go for $500-$800 in the east. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RenegadeJ 0 Posted April 2, 2007 I purchased my 3112V with 48 inch deck new in 1969 and paid $1100.00 for it taxes included. Probably best investment I ever made. Still using it and runs as good as day it came home with me. Prices have sure gotten out of hand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
