[AT] Re: Massy-Harris 44 - tractor prices

Kyle those estate issues are heart breakers.  Lots of times a guy will have
a big collection of toys but not a lot of cash.  The family may want to keep
the toys to maybe start a museum or to just enjoy them but the IRS doesn't
see it that way.  They come in and put a value on the items that may greatly
exceed what the owner has in them and demand payment of estate taxes based
on that value.
Then the family is forced to sell the property if for no other reason than
to prove to the IRS that it isn't worth what they claim.

these past several days were a fluke, or if it's typical to find some pretty
good deals on ebay...I don't really pay attention to the JD side of things
since I just figure they'll go high no matter what.  Besides, I already have
two of those to wrench on anyway.

Perhaps he'll be desparate to get rid of some stuff and cut you a good
price.  He's located way up on the northwestern part of the state which is a
good 7 hour drive for me.  I'm relatively close and I wish he were closer
yet.  I'm headed up that direction for an auction in mid-July.  If you need
help loading something, give me a call!
