There are also abundant idiots willing to bid up prices. Dealers, especially the Bobcat dealer will charge 20-50% more than they paid for a machine, and often use paint to improve curb appeal. You have to stick to your guns, and wait for the machine that "feels" right. I am not in the business so for me it's just a hobby. Therefore I am a "bottom feeder" and the last resort for a machine that might otherwise be scrap metal. I have never paid more than 1,500 for any Bobcat so far.</p></blockquote><p></p>
