I don't mind it I guess, when somebody holds onto something for sentimental or whatever reasons. But I'm like most people, and hate it when it is later liquidated and previous offers/inquiries are forgotten about or just plain out not even considered.

I don't know how many times I've thrown an offer out, was refused, and I just figured 'oh well, I guess I'll just buy it someday at thier auction and not bug em about it anymore'. And then 6 or 8 years later, I learn that they sold it and didn't even have an auction. Or they have an auction, but have already sold what I was wanting.

A has been friend of mine fixed up a really old truck. Was a little pieced together and modified when he got it done. But never the less, it was a neat old truck when he got it done. I stopped in one day to visit not long after he got it together. And he was showing it to me all proud like. Done everything but give me a ride in it. I remember telling him that it was right up my alley, and I always wanted an antique truck like that. A few years later, I seen him and he said he sold it. Didn't have it anymore. Said it went to slow and he wanted a truck from the 60's or 70's. I had no idea that he had gotten rid of it, and some of the older tractors that he had.

I'm 3rd owner of an old tractor. The son of the 2nd owner is still alive but old and now retired. I thought about letting him store it over at his place (he has the shed space now), and let him play around with it in return. But, .... his 2 kids live out of state, and I'm not going to put myself into the mess of dealing with them to get it back when he's gone. I could see how a deal like that could go south.

Today's Featured Article - Gatherin of the Orange - by Rick Nikolich. In July of 1998 I was talking to fellow Allis Chalmers collector Mike Schilling about the annual "Gathering of The Orange" AC show coming up in August of 1999. He got this wild idea that we should get a convoy of AC tractors and drive them from Charlotte, Michigan 105 miles to LaGrange, Indiana. ... [Read Article]
