I thought he started somewhere past $20,000 originally?

If only I were closer and had 20K, I could use that ribbon.

No certificate of authenticity, that's deal breaker right there.

And the ribbon is almost the right shade of yellow.
That has to be worth something!

You know, in all seriousness, he is actually getting down in the price range where the crawler would probably sell. Original nice low hour crawlers will bring a premium to a collector that is into that kind of thing.

How could everyone miss the fact that this 420 C is a one of a kind? It has that highly sought after option called a "5 Spreeed transmission". I think this one is the faster 5 speed, it is 1 of 1. That is as rare as it gets.

I have to agree! I bought a 420 that was in super nice shape low hrs 3pt with center link no blade, and paid very close to 16,000! Maybe nuts but i didnt get there by myself! So if you truely have a 420 with less than 100hrs on it i can almost guarantee it will bring 20g's to a collector.

I have a rule about the value of anything, including these collectable "toys". As long as it is not my money, I could care less what one brings.
The true barometer as to what something is worth is what it sells for. If it brings XXXX, then somebody, for whatever reason, thought it must have been worth that.
Sellers typically refer to the highest price they have ever seen one bring when they are selling, but then they revert to the lowest price on the exact same unit has ever brought when they are buying.
Funny little game, isn't it?
Most of us would love to find a low hour, excellent condition original and buy it from a little old widow lady that was glad to "get rid of it." That trick has been pulled so many times.
I truly wish him the best in selling it and I can assure him of one person that will not be writing the check his is wanting.
