Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

I'm not connected to this auction in any way, and have no opinion as to whether this is a good deal or not, but it sure is an unusual tractor. I was not aware that Ferrari sold tractors in North America. I thought they only sold in Europe. Anyhow here is a photo and a link to the auction:

little risky?  sounds like it could be dangerous.  but, I'll be sure to have my camera in my vehicle at 'all times'.  I could use the points ( don't post alot ) thou....hummmm it is a good idea to be on the moderators 'good guy'  list.     I'll ponder the pro's-con's on that suggestion .  I know the wrath of a angery women..been married 30 years.  I learned my lesson after just 1 time ( she is RIGHT when she's right..and she is RIGHT when she is wrong ).    just kidding dear-  ouch..

THATS PART OF THE WIVES CREED. 

I THINK IT ACTUALLY STARTS OUT WITH "THOUGH I WALK THROUGH THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH"..........AND ENDS WITH SOMETHING LIKE......... "BECAUSE I SAID SO"

Gino....obviously you are unaware of the OTHER collection I hold near and dear...my collection of orchiectomy scalpels...there are the nice sharp ones for when I am feeling kind...and the dull, "couldn't cut butter" ones....for when people try and take pictures of me while I am trying to enjoy some tractor time....

However, I'm sure after being married 30 years, you know that a woman's bark is MUCH worse than her bite....

I thgink I'll go to 1250 on this.  any advice??

I'm no e-bay bid expert having bought only a dozen or so items, but what works for me is to figure the maximum price I'm wiling to pay (factor in shipping and taxes, etc) and set my max bid price. If I get it then fine; if not I just let it go. There is nothing in life that I feel I absolutely have to possess.  But I'm not buying rare stuff, and if I miss it this time, I'll try again. Eventually I get what I'm looking for.

If you can follow the bid up to the close, and be there for a last minute bid, still decide on the maximum you'd be willing to pay, and then bid lower. If a bidding war starts at the end you can slip your max bid and hope someone hasn't done the same with a higher maximum.

Just my 2 cents worth. It may not be useful for how you bid on stuff, so take it with a large grain of salt.

Good luck.

I can let you guys know why you have never seen pictures of Paula or Marshall. This is from a secret document I accidently saw while visiting my CIA affiliated dentist's office . It seem both Paula and Marshall are such incredibly perfect specimines that even a quick gaze of their image on a photograph is enough to cause hundreds of folks to fall into an incurable depression from knowing that they will never be able to measure up to such beauty and perfection. Apparently it is against national security protocals to photograph either person, because their image is that powerful. Rumor has it that seeing Marshall's image is what drove Sadam Hussein into the spider hole and Paula's image was reportedly used to cause the thousands of Iraqis to surrender in the first Gulf war in hopes that they might see her in person. So now that you guys know, you've got to keep this a secret, ok?

ROFLMAO   How did you know? 

I would post my picture but over the last 7 years I've probably gathered an enemy or two that would actually go to the trouble to try to find me. However, the good news is, Paula doesn't have that problem so we should see her picture pronto!

Gang- I'm going back to being humble and kinda out-a-site. When SHE starts talking about cashe of knives..hummm- can you imagine being chased with a arsenal of knives on a diesel powered tractor!   I promise to leave my camera at home and am withdrawing any notions of bidding against her on the tractor. You go for it Paula-   sorry guys..someday that piture will produce on this site, I just feel it.      lol   Geno

Good advice Highwind.  I got blown outa the water on this one though.  This thing is over 2 G's already.  Wonder where it will end up.  probably 3500 or so.  Either way, I'm out.
