I am selling a 2003 John Deere X485 with a 62C mower deck for $3600. This is my Craigslist ad.

You write a great ad which ads a lot of value if I was looking at it.

I might ad local pickup only.

I will be the first to ask. If I send a check for $5,000.00 can you cash it and send me the extra money and then I will send you an address of where to ship the tractor. Or as would typically be spelled Tactedtor.

Looks like a nice machine. Wish I was in the market.

X2 on good ad and your knowledge speaks to quality of the machine and it's care it's been given. Someone will get a real winner here. Glws

In the past, I have been known to ship or even deliver equipment. It is just a matter of cost for the buyer.

I like to provide information I would be asking if I were the buyer. The buyer will also receive a short training session on the operation and maintenance of the tractor.

Yes, I will accept your check for $5000. Cash it and then WAIT until it clears my bank. I have heard about every scam there is, but if the deal sounds TOO good, it is probably a scam. That is why I only BUY or SELL with cash in hand.

PS I did forget to mention the cylinder compression was up to spec.

Do enter/exit the the right side? My seats fail on the left side first.

 

[George of Buford]

The seat was that way when I bought it. Looks like something scrapped it. I usually get on/off on the left side.

Your right. I am not on Facebook so I don’t know if market place has the same issues as Craigslist. I like using Craiglist but find thee scams or how do I say this politely, oh yes, stupid people, are usually focused on automotive or household items. With farm/garden items I have had no issues.

...The buyer will also receive a short training session on the operation and maintenance of the tractor....

Well, that's more than some of us got when we bought new

...Yes, I will accept your check for $5000. Cash it and then WAIT until it clears my bank. ...

I would add, include $20 cash with the check - because that's what the bank will ding YOU when the buyer's check bounces.

Looks like a very nice tractor - hope it finds a good home.

I have used Craigslist for MANY years. You just have to be careful because there are many scams. A few years ago I started using Market Place. I still use both, but have better selling results overall with FB. It was easier for me to list on Craigslist, since I posted this add on GTT, MTF and WFM. Then just use a link rather than creating a complete new listing. OK I am lazy.
