ploughmaster Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 So is it still in a straw box just with the earlier Major tractor Rob and what about the colour of the sacks ??? Each version of the box is very similar - differing on the front mainly in having a drawing of the DDN Major on the early box and a drawing of the Ford 6600 on the later one which you have pictured above (there were differences on the bottom of the box too). The earlier boxes had a very pale blue plastic tray. The very earliest version of the box is a slightly lighter shade of blue (though hard to see unless both versions are put side by side). A similar shade change exists with the Shawnee-Poole dumper and I suspect it may well have occurred when the Empire Blue on the Super Major was replaced by the Ford Tractor Blue of the Super Major 5000 (also used on the last versions of the New Performance Fordson Major). The box itself is based on one made by Ransomes, Sims & Jefferies and the description on the bottom of the early box refers to it as a 'Ransomes': source: Ransomes, Sims & Jefferies by Brian Bell The type of material and colour of the sacks has changed several times over the years. The earliest ones were a pale greeny grey and made of a very rubbery soft PVC (similar to the early haybales). In the early 70's the PVC was less rubbery, but the sacks were still the same sort of colour. These early PVC bales and sacks have a tendency to react with the polystyrene packaging. Later versions were made of a harder material, which doesn't react, and were usually slate grey, although some were made in a tan colour for a short while in the 80's (like in BCs picture above), and also dark brown later on I think, before reverting to dark grey again. I can't understand the amount some people are bidding on these at the moment, I certainly wouldn't rate them that highly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero feedback winning bidder, and underbidder with only 2 feedback, and the pair of them did most of the bidding (next lowest bidder was at £10; still too much IMO). What's the betting it doesn't get paid for?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Shame, the postage issue is the main reason i don't have one of the New Holland combines that are made by them. Im going to Milan in April, maybe i could call into factory and pick some up!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ploughmaster Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I've noticed a lot of stuff going for half what it was making a couple of years ago, but then some of the amounts that were being bid on run-of-the-mill stuff had got ludicrously high. To a great extent values have come back to reality. Mint and boxed stuff still makes fairly good money (though still less than the excessive amounts of 2+ years ago), but playworn and damaged/chipped stuff has really only come back to earth - it just isn't worth much; plus there is loads of damaged stuff about. The blue muledozer for £13 is a disappointment, depending on condition (or not depending on whether you are buying or selling ), but sometimes very rare stuff fails to live up to expectations because the potential bidders viewing it haven't seen it before and don't realise what it is. At the same time, there are still a few long standing eBay sellers offering Britains items at the same vastly overoptimistic BINs as they were 2 or 3 years ago, and they're still not selling. There are a couple in particular whose BIN prices make me laugh out loud every time I see them (on a regularly recurring monthly interval every time they are relisted ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a David Brown A5 Selectematic brochure (in the Finnish language)... sold for a heady £162.67 ... I bet Stephen Moat is rubbing his hands at this one... good luck to him too I say ... it just goes to show what happens when you have two or more people 'on it' that really really want it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 we all easily forget thats theres a huge group of model tractor collectors out there that only know of ebay ,and i bet have never heard of us at ftf the likes of G&M or the rest we all so readily use, so to them, this may well seem like a good deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr softie Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 it will seem like a good deal to most non members who when go to dealers etc and get told they are sold out not realising there is more to follow , most people will think they are getting a rare model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
