fxfymn Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Don't give up on it if you really want it. Many an E-bay sale falls through, so I would contact the seller to let him know you are interested. Quote Money, sex, and fire; everybody thinks everyone else is getting more than they are!

HarryS Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Don't give up on it if you really want it. Many an E-bay sale falls through, so I would contact the seller to let him know you are interestedThat's what happened in my case. The buyer that outbid me was so busy giving shipping instructions and being a BFD he forgot to pay, even the deposit. So it does pay to let the sellers know you are a good plan B. There is also another B Model wrecker on ebay ,http://www.ebay.com/itm/1960-Mack-B61-B-Model-Mack-with-Wrecker-Body-/251376759742?forcerrptr=true&hash=item3a8738f3be&item=251376759742&pt=Commercial_Trucks#ht_70wt_872 quite a bit more money but no bids. Looks like a nice truck. O feedback from seller which means "Be Careful".

Gmerrill0516 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Keep looking and as Fxfymn said drop the guy a note on e-bay just in case it goes south..There are lots of B-models around. Watch e-bay and craigs list for starters. Local auto trader type weekly for sale listings have old trucks once in a while too. I didn't note your location but there are typically guys around that have them for sale. Getting a good price is sometimes tough but..be patientgood luck!

thomastractorsvc Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 $2500-$3500 you can ask for more might get it. If I were buying I would not pay more than $3500 unless it was something special or had a lot of extra parts. From my observations and buying and selling, I watch ebay and CL for a month or two, most trucks all start out high and either don't sell or they relist with a lower price, trucks will typically sell when they are fair priced it. My 1980 R model I bought last spring was listed at 12K. I called and asked about the truck and asked for pictures, made a offer. After a few months of not selling I made another and got it for considerably less. Some may say I bought a set of tires and got the truck for free since it had new tires all the way around.
