They are worth a lot, but probably $500 not $1000

I thought the going price use to be a dollar a pound. I didn’t look at the weight. I believe he only showed two slabs.

Unless they are something special, like the slab weights, most of the guys that are asking $1/lb. for weights (around here) are doing just that; asking. The ones that are selling are going for about half that price.

There's 3 in the picture. 2 in a stack and 1 by itself. WD45 used 3, and a D17 used 4. They are 75lbs each. Steiners sells new reproduction ones for $165 each. That sets the caps the price of used ones.
I'd buy all I could find if someone was selling them for $37 each!

Without even looking, I know who you're talking about (from your clue)!!! I've seen his hand, or rather, his glove, often when searching Ebay for Allis stuff

He also often misrepresents stuff. For instance, he once had rear wheels from a WC listed and said they also fit WD.

Not really the repos are not exactly like the originals,a good used original wt would be worth more than a new repo since weights don't really wear out but could be damaged which would lower the collector value.Sort of like repo manuals I rarely buy one just wait to find an original.If anything the $165 would be the lowest price a good original wt would sell for.

Some folks will always ask for top dollar. Rust is apparently the new gold. Not mine, but the owner of this B near me is asking $1500. I hope they get every dime.

I would honestly pay more for one like that then one thats been repainted. I like original condition and that one doesn't look bad as is. Now $1500 is a bit much and im guessing by the oil filter it hasn't ran for quite some time.

That’s a snap coupler b with the cultivator; if it’s not stuck it should be worth the asking price.

The really expensive slab weights are the one without the hole in them.

Most problems can be solved with the proper application of high explosives.

This guy is in the insurance business. He has a few guys working for him. They buy tractors cheap and dismantle. Always asking double the price. Don’t bother with “make an offer “ as he only will come down a few bucks anyway.

I’m the only one that said anything about insurance not Ted. I didn’t call anyone s crook and my post was about the the EBAY seller not you. Not really sure how you got a crook out of someone be an insurance guy. Sorry your feathers got ruffled , I was just trying to let people know that he doesn’t count on the parts he sales for his main income . He has buildings full of parts with shelves to keep things organized. I’ve bought a couple of things from him and talked with him for about an hour or so. Nice guy he just has very pricey parts.
