But, It's a Cub Cadet!
 

While looking for Cubs on Craigslist, people think that no matter what condition the tractor is in, if it says Cub Cadet they think they can ask ridiculous prices for them. Do you find that is true in your area?

Yep.
Another thing that gets me is they put "pulling tractor" in the ad thinking it will bring more money..... but they are selling a hydro tractor. :bash2:

Pulling tractor instantly doubles the price around here, even if it's a completely stock tractor with junk turf tires. I guess welding on a stack to the exhaust makes it worth more. Some people are just unrealistic, they see a Cub selling for x amount and figure there's has to be worth that much even though there's is a beat up piece of crap that barely runs. Here's a link to a gravely for sale near me, this guy has had it listed at the same price for over a year and I talked to him on the phone and he won't budge on the price. The guy claims it's never been on fire but have a hard time believing it after looking at the pics.

Wow, that’s really a piece of crap.

John Deere's are even worse. I've seen some non running ones selling for more than I paid for my 147 and 149 combined.

That’s so true. You would think JD made 140 H3s out of gold and painted them green.

"Classic", "Hard to find", "Very rare" are just a few. And the never ending add. For Sale, "IH Cub Cadet", when it was clearly built way later than the IH tractors.:bash2:
Then we get the tillers for sale, and gear box sold separately.:bash2:

You should go buy that, looks like a nice tractor.

Tractors that I had an interest in have been $650-$750. You know you'll have to put at least another $650-$750 back in it to bring it up to par.
One said "it's been smoking a lot lately"! $$$!

There was a 122 on CL down here ad said completely restored, completely taken apart, cleaned, fixed, repainted before and after reassembly.
Like factory new.

The pics showed that he did not even bother to tape off anything as he spray bombed the whole thing with the almost right colors.

And he only had it listed at $2500 with no deck tractor only.
