[AT] Sold Tractor On Ebay - Unusual Issue

[Dean Vinson]

Hmmm, this looks like a good business opportunity.  I could advertise to
those types of buyers that when they want to purchase an old tractor but not
pick it up, they could pay me instead of the seller and I'd only charge them
half of what they were going to pay otherwise--an instant 50% savings!  Then
I'd give the seller a 10% commission and he could re-sell the tractor to
somebody who actually wants to pick it up, so he'd be happy too.  Please let
me know if any of you guys would like to be my first customers.

Actually, the buyer purchased another tractor (a Massey Harris 44 diesel) in
October after mine from McGrew Equipment in PA.  Again its paid for and not
picked up.  They told me that its not unusual to have people leave things on
site for 6 months and have had cases where the buyers never picked it up.
In those cases, they send out a letter (after 6 months) which states that if
its not picked up in a certain time frame the tractor will be sold for
storage costs.  Anyway, I was able to get the address of the buyer.
 
Go figure.
