It does make you wonder what the thinking is behind all these unreal prices, I see them quite often. The only time I buy from Amazon is when things are that cheap, you cant not!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Its a selling tactic . Seen it at shows as well , one items put on display at a high price like this , then another at the normal price , it fools the buyer into thinking they are getting a bargain when they are actually paying the normal price. You will prob find the same sellers got another account selling them at standard prices , probably alternates between them to make it look less iffy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stabliofarmer Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 I was listening to something a while ago, a podcast I think, which told of why you get items that are ridiculous prices on sites like Amazon. Basically the price to begin with hasn't been input by a human, the price is displayed via an algorithm that reads the RRP and then compares itself to all other products for sale with the same barcode, ie anyone else selling the same item. It then alters itself accordingly to remain a competitive yet profitable price. This works well when there's a variety of sellers with the same item. It's when the number of sellers gets down to one or two that the algorithms get confused and start fighting each other, this drives the price up and up and up to what you see as some of the extortionate prices. Large capacity sellers obviously aren't checking all their items constantly so these prices are able to go unnoticed by the seller. Thought it was very interesting to hear, I wonder what effect the algorithms can have on a models overall value? They allow a model to be advertised for an extortionate price without anyone having ever paid that much, next thing you know the prices are rising everywhere. Is this a result of the algorithm or simply coincidence as the algorithms are more likely to go rouge as a model gets rarer to acquire, and a rarer model will go for more regardless of the surrounding market. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 An interesting way of setting prices to be sure, I had never thought of it like that. I have to agree that sometimes the models do appear to be either ridiculously cheap or exorbitantly expensive 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shows are normally a good place as well as there was a seller in italy on Ebay that had them for that too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time they were limited to 1500 or so per model ,so we all made the mad rush to get one... thinking they would disappear fast. But 9 or 10 years later they are still floating around... I also got a S Frater 7740 4wd conversion. So the 6640 will fill the gap nicely in the collection between the other 2. Its just a shame Imber/ROS never continued with the 6 pot models or latter New Holland versions.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbo Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 I know that today and tomorrow are the so called Amazon Prime days but, if you were interested in a Valtra loader tractor there are a couple of reasonably priced ones at the moment, I think that anything under £50 for a Wiking is reasonable but unfortunately, shipping is quite expensive at £14.50 Valtra T174M + loader https://www.amazon.co.uk/Wiking-077815-Valtra-T174m-Loader/dp/B0193AA4I0/ref=sr_1_69?crid=3KWJ8FZ3OOZDV&dchild=1&keywords=wiking+tractor&qid=1602600083&sprefix=wiking+tractor%2Caps%2C197&sr=8-69 Valtra N123 + loader https://www.amazon.co.uk/Wiking-Valtra-N123-Scale-773270/dp/B00IN45VHM/ref=sr_1_68?crid=3KWJ8FZ3OOZDV&dchild=1&keywords=wiking+tractor&qid=1602600083&sprefix=wiking+tractor%2Caps%2C197&sr=8-68 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CX820Joe Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Was assuming just as they have been discontinued they are flogging them off? The Scorpion is a decent model for less than 40 quid. I've ordered the baler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
