Mcrafty1 Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Is this truck over priced? I know the expected price isn't even reached yet but with $7100.00 already bid and not even hitting the reserve yet it seems quite high already. http://www.ebay.com/itm/131661679709?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/42931-pricing/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
fxfymn Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Without an in-person inspection of the truck it is hard to say. The pics look nice, but we all know pictures lie.If it is in top condition you will not be able to reproduce it for less than $50K. 1 Quote Money, sex, and fire; everybody thinks everyone else is getting more than they are!

Bigdogtrucker Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Overpriced? I'd ask much more if it were mine (if it's as solid/straight as it looks in the pics) and has good mechanical's...

Yeah, I don't know what the real world price of the truck is, the $7100.00 was as high as the bids went (it didn't sell by the way)....and it didn't get above the reserve so obviously they want more than that for it. Anyone close to Christiansburg, Va. that was looking for a good restoration piece...and had a handful of disposable income, would be wise to check it out. It looks like a sound piece of history to me. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/42931-pricing/#findComment-314013 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post HarryS Posted December 3, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted December 3, 2015 The truck does look good in the pictures. I think the big negative that holds the price down is the brakes not working and the explanation of owner dis-assembly and not being able to get it back together right. It's like "ran when parked or last driven". If it is a simple fix and the seller doesn't want to screw with it and gets realistic with the price it could be a buy. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/42931-pricing/#findComment-314019 Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomastractorsvc Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Brakes are not hard not sure how you could not get it back together right = sounds like more problems with the brake system than shoes probably needs chambers cam bushings hardware kit and slack adjusters or they tried to add springbreaks and screwed up the air routing and valvesThat truck is worth only $7100 since we all know that a truck is only worth what someone is willing to pay regardless of how much money is spent to fix it upMy golden rule to old mack trucks is get it as cheap as possible because it will only be worth 9 to 12K when you are done unless you can find that one or two rare model or one off always apply my golden rule to these trucks or you will never get your money back out of it when you need to 2 Quote Robert"I reject your reality and substitute my own."
