| They are worth a lot, but probably $500 not $1000 |

| I thought the going price use to be a dollar a pound. I didn’t look at the weight. I believe he only showed two slabs. |

Unless they are something special, like the slab weights, most of the guys that are asking $1/lb. for weights (around here) are doing just that; asking. The ones that are selling are going for about half that price.

| There's 3 in the picture. 2 in a stack and 1 by itself. WD45 used 3, and a D17 used 4. They are 75lbs each. Steiners sells new reproduction ones for $165 each. That sets the caps the price of used ones. I'd buy all I could find if someone was selling them for $37 each! |

Without even looking, I know who you're talking about (from your clue)!!! I've seen his hand, or rather, his glove, often when searching Ebay for Allis stuff

| He also often misrepresents stuff. For instance, he once had rear wheels from a WC listed and said they also fit WD. |

Not really the repos are not exactly like the originals,a good used original wt would be worth more than a new repo since weights don't really wear out but could be damaged which would lower the collector value.Sort of like repo manuals I rarely buy one just wait to find an original.If anything the $165 would be the lowest price a good original wt would sell for. |

Some folks will always ask for top dollar. Rust is apparently the new gold. Not mine, but the owner of this B near me is asking $1500. I hope they get every dime.   |

That’s a snap coupler b with the cultivator; if it’s not stuck it should be worth the asking price. ------------- The 14th Annual Exclusive AC Swap Meet will be held in Boonville, MO, March 7-8, 2025. See the club website for details: http://www.moacclub.com/ |

This guy is in the insurance business. He has a few guys working for him. They buy tractors cheap and dismantle. Always asking double the price. Don’t bother with “make an offer “ as he only will come down a few bucks anyway. ------------- Thanks & God Bless Dennis |

I’m the only one that said anything about insurance not Ted. I didn’t call anyone s crook and my post was about the the EBAY seller not you. Not really sure how you got a crook out of someone be an insurance guy. Sorry your feathers got ruffled , I was just trying to let people know that he doesn’t count on the parts he sales for his main income . He has buildings full of parts with shelves to keep things organized. I’ve bought a couple of things from him and talked with him for about an hour or so. Nice guy he just has very pricey parts. ------------- Thanks & God Bless Dennis |
