Getting better out there?

[fried1765]

For how little I use my BX23S, I really couldn't justify its purchase, however, since I am old, I am spending other people's inheritance and will be leaving them with the problem of selling everything to get what meager amounts that will be left to divide among themselves.
I would continue this discussion, however, I am going to pick up my new $135,000 excavator. I just hope that the new VW that I bought last week is up to pulling the trailer that the excavator came with.

I am right there with Ya!
I have three children......over age 50
Disposing of my chit will be their problem.

Well, if you're serious then congratulations are definitely in order. Pictures please!

If I brought that home, I would die an unnatural death, and my wife would get away with it as justifiable homicide.

I think most of us realized that you were NOT serious.
It made a good story though.

There are a lot of BX23S on the used market. I have seen them selling for $12-14 thousand with 200-300 hours on them. A lot of these machines are being sold by rental companies when they replace them with new machines. Last week when I went by my local Home Depot they didn't have any BX or small excavators on the lot. I would love to know where they send them to auction because I would like a small excavator. I only wish that they would auction them off locally.

They are auctioned off by Ritchie Brothers/Govplanet

some Mx’s, standard Ls, LX’s and a few bx’s out front. The crated tractors appeared to be mostly L’s.

I, too, have noticed improvement in supply.

That said, it will not become a buyer's market until dealers nave no other option.
