Look at various publications like Rock and Dirt, Machinery Trader, and others, and you get a DECENT idea what machines are going for. Lots of these machines are untouched by dealers who sell most with no guarantees/warranties whatsoever. Put nothing in, sell 'em as high as possible to make as much dough as possible. The American way. According to some of my questions on this site, I find everything is priced too high here by about 2 grand. With no warranties, one has to be very careful in purchases and hope you are talking to a straight shooting salesperson or machine owner. And, even when careful, you can still get stung. I'm looking at a 133 Thomas soon, and a 753 Bobcat. Passed on a cheap CAT 226 that turned out to be bigtime whipped. Just not easy to buy these used machines. Anybody had any luck bidding in municipal auctions for machines? Do prices tend to be too high, just right, or too low for the machines involved? The search continues, thanks, all, Mike</p></blockquote><p></p>
