Dick,

Sometimes antique tractor owners pour way too much money into a tractor and then
think because they have that much money in it, it must be worth that to someone
else. Doesn't work that way unless they find another buyer of similar
intelligence. Don't know what this 1855 or 400 is worth but I've seen a pristine
400 that was in better than factory new condition sell for less than this asking
price.  Sometimes sellers test the market and see if they can find a buyer who
will pay any price. 

I had a guy in Reno, NV call me today trying to sell me an (unstyled or maybe
styled), he didn't know the difference, JD B for $3900. Not restored at all but
had just recently gotten it running. He admitted he didn't know much about
antique tractors but had an uncle tell him it was worth more than $4000. After
asking a bunch of questions I found out it was just a Plain Jane Row Crop 1948
JD B tricycle which wouldn't command $3900 fully restored from the frame up here
on the West Coast unless it was a long lost family tractor. I have lost a allot
of patience with these kinds of sellers over the years. But... I guess if enough
frogs are kissed they might find an uninformed prince. These kinds of sellers
need to become unemployed along with the Wall Street/Investment Bank sharks.
But... one can set any level of asking price. That doesn't make them worth that
much. Several house sellers have learned that lesson in spades recently.
