Crank open that roof, hitch up to a silage trailer, and drive on!

You not putting on sidelights and rear lights on the mudguards?
Looks super. The wheels look fresh in white too. Great job.

Probably will leave the lights for now, not planning on having it on the road or doing much night work. I do have tax book for it though so they might be added and wired up properly in the future.

A good salesman won’t put the price on an add for a machine.

If someone wants something badly they will buy it, if it’s out of budget but they ring at all to enquire he has a line of dialogue open that he can sell something else within the callers budget

Get them calling anyway

Say I'm selling something but no price up and I will take €100.

Buyer; How much ya looking for?
Me; How much will you offer me?
Buyer; €120
Me; (Can probably get a bit more) How about €150?
Buyer; Eh bit much, how about €135?
Me; Deal!

Stick it up at €140, if it sells it sells. If it doesn’t drop the price. Lot of lads haven’t got the graw for that whole make an offer shiite, there’s other things to spend your life on rather than dealing with messers and time wasters.

If your selling something your going to waste a considerable amount of time anyway

If the price is up or not the same gob****es will still ring to talk the same ****e and make the same ridiculous offers

There is a theory behind €POA, certainly for salesmen

And salesmen love talking ****e all day long . . . If they think you have money to spend

BTW I don’t think I’ve ever advertised anything €POA, often bought things €POA

Buyer; you're a timewaster

Is it just me or has the tractor market turned into the housing market of 2006?

Prices have gone through the roof and some sellers can't be ar**d putting in even a tiny bit of effort in the ads.

Never mind putting no price or the 1234, in the last few pages you even had ad with a picture taken from inside a car/jeep and another where they took them all in the bloody dark.

Jaysus if that is how you operate then one would rightly think the tractor is a hape of shyte that you never bothered your ar** looking after.

And putting in multiple pictures of the same side angle or pictures taken from a distance is shag all use to anyone.

Business idea there for someone.

Wash/clean a persons vehicle,
take the photos,
write ad on donedeal,
put up the price on the ad,
deal with all the timewasters,
take a % of the sale price or have a fixed fee.

I’d say 90% or more tractor ads have no pictures of the inside of the cab, like maybe you wouldn’t notice it’s rough as a bears arse when you get there.

I've seen a few ads of tractors that were resprayed, and looked to be very well finished in the photos. Clicking along through the photos admiring the tractor, until you hit the photo of the interior, and it's a bear's arse.

When they're in the yard that's half the battle won.

I've a machine on done deal at the moment. and I've had a few over the years like a lot of lads.
I've mine overpriced by, I'd say, 4k. asking price is at 11k. ive had it a good few years, it's well paid for, and didn't cost me 4k as it came at a time I had a few tangles going at the same time.
I'm not in a panic or under pressure to sell. but if a melon comes in he will go home thinking he's some man to bargain!

Why bother? If you want to sell it put it up for its value.

Problem is if I was interested in that type of tractor and kew the value I would not be coming into your yard. Lads buying tractors travel 50-100 miles those lads will not be swanning in your gate

That's just it with Donedeal. People now know the market value of most machines and tractors. You can sort by price, so the most expensive machines will be at the end of the list.

€38k for a 1995 390T, discuss in no more than 200 words.

More importantly you can filter and they do not show up at all.

True. You have a price up. You’re not putting a gun to anyone’s head.

Broke my heart, it was a beautiful tractor to drive but first the splind for the pressure plate went, then the head gasket went because the block went pourus. After that the clutch went again. Finally it nearly went on fire one day. Moved it on after that. Mine was a series 3 it did not cost me much more than that one nearly 10 years ago now
