| Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that used Allis parts on ebay have gone sky high? I am sure that I have invested more in fixing up my D17 III than what I paid for it even though I haven't added up the cost over the years. But I'm not sure that I could do that again at today's prices. |

Probably just Fleabay. Most of the places I work with for used parts are still reasonable. As for new parts it pays to look around. ------------- If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere. Real pullers don't have speed limits. If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY |

Ebay charges 12% commission, I have adjusted my parts on ebay recently to account for that. Also new A-C parts have gone up around 12% in the last 2 years, some more, some less. ------------- www.awtractor.com A&W TRACTOR 920-598-1287 KEEPING ALLIS-CHALMERS IN THE FIELDS THROUGH THE 21ST CENTURY |

Well lets see, my wholesale price for the drapers I sell about doubled. Another retailer sells the same draper $200 less than what I can get them for, yet alone sell for. My wholesaler seems to have gotten greedy, but now I dont buy any from them. Im sure I was their biggest customer for that part. I send my customers to the other retailer. ------------- If its not an All-Crop, it all crap! |
