Sounds painful.That could be a very lengthy discussion. For the sake of simplicity I would recommend defaulting to the "circumcision paradigm" that simply states you can take 20% off of the top of anything without it making a difference. Good luck.
Every market is different, but in NZ for a private sale you could easily ask 90% of what a dealer was selling for. People are always looking for good lightly used equipment. In the US you have more problems with stolen equipment I think, so maybe people are prepared to pay a bit more to ensure clear title from a dealer. 62.5% sounds low to me. But I suspect you'd definitely get a quick sale!!wouid it be resonable to ask for 75% of the prices dealers are asking for used tractors of similar condition etc. 62.5% for quicker sale. Or am I expecting too much?
Bingo.As much as possible.
Not the dealers that I know.Remember that while dealers have certain inherent advantages over private sellers, they do also add some value between trade-in and resale in terms of clean-up and servicing. A private seller who takes the time to detail and service the machine first can probably expect to get closer to a dealer's resale price than someone who just plunks a For Sale sign on a machine in last-used condition.
