What do you think of the prices of tractors in photo ads that are listed from Minot, ND?

Are you talking about those listed by our 'ol buddy from ******* Corner in Rock Lake (or his son)?

Have an idea that tractors in Minot are frozen.

They seem a little high, if there is someone willing to pay that much for one then that's their own problem. I just hope they don't show up on here some day crying that they paid too much!! lol

My brother brought me the Fargo Forum Ag Ads from a couple weeks ago. Some of those prices seem as high as the dealers sold them for when new in the 60's and 70's.

Yes. I think they are the only ones who advertise on YT Photos from Minot.

Hi
if you are referring to the guy with the flag tractor. He's out to lunch unless somethings changed in the last while.
There was one of these for sale close to me in Manitoba in the last 18 months. Asked a few collectors about it, as I was thinking of buying fixin and sellin for profit, Because of what it was, and I had no use for it on the farm. the price was $6000 with it needing work. Everybody said it wasn't worth buying and fixing. There was nothing left in it for the rarity value.
if my thinking's correct it's not that rare there's 50 of em if they all survived L.O.L.
I wonder if this is the same tractor as these guys aren'tthat far south of me here!
Regards Robert

Prices have changed drastically.
Round 40 years ago I started buying antique tractors in the Fargo,ND. area, I could buy them cheap enough to haul to Indiana and make a handsome profit. That lasted aboot ten or so years till others caught on and started hauling a lot of them from that area and Cananada.
Most of them I spent more hauling them than what they cost. Such as an R John Deere at Fargo I bought fur $500.00 and resold it in Ind. for $2,500.00.

We had a neighbor in the '50's who had come out from Nort Dakota. His drivers license had long since been revoked because of numerous drunk driving convictions, but he could still legally drive a tractor, so would take the train back to ND, and find 2 N Fords and a trailer, for about 200 bucks apiece, load the poorer Ford on the trailer so he could use the better one to pull the outfit, and drive back to Washington, where he could sell the N's for about a 1000 apiece, and the trailer for whatever he could get, and put the difference in his pocket. Did that a couple of times in the temperate time of the year, but then got greedy and did a trip in the dead of winter. Leaned into the whiskey a little too hard, and luckily, they found him passed out in a snowbank before he froze to death. That was his last trip- Hortense (her real name) put her foot down. They divorced some years later, but Hortense stayed on and took care of him until he died.

I wonder how he finds all those tractors? There are a lot of harder to find tractors there.

He buys low, shoots the moon. Hope he gives out a case of Vaseline with each.I can't figure out why he is not listed as a dealer considering he has his own website.Locals have some pretty good nicknames for him and family I heard.Not the only price crazy dealer on there though. Look at the gentlemen from Wesley Iowa . He advertises a lot on tractor house. *****vold farm equipment.
