keep putting things on Ebay and not get a clue. This tractor has been on Ebay for the last 2 years or so....I would think he would have paid a ton in fees by now....

Yeah I've seen both of those forever. I guess the guy with the sprayer thinks that if he lengthens his description every time he lists it that it will make it sell!

What? You think they're asking too much...LOL! I like that the LP tractor only shows one side, the one with the oil filter leak, can't imagine how bad the rest of the tractor looks if that's the GOOD view.

wouldn't you know it? the original owner was a farmer!! I've seen a ton of stuff on ebay for long periods of time. You kind of lose track of the relists.

HAy, I remember that D-17 with sprayer as well !!!

It's not just an 'Ebay' thing, I've visit the local Kijiji sites and see the same items every few months over the past 3 years !

Yeesh, when I want to sell something, I put a reasonable price on it,show at least 4 pictures and will always sell for a bit less.

The guy with the sprayer setup did have it listed for a lower price at one time. He must be like Obama and figure the recession is over as the price has went back up. I guess, all it takes is one idiot with a big pocketbook.

Like Eldon said the ebay would be enough to discourage you I would think.
