Leakeyvale Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 It still surprises me what folks pay for what is just a casting really........ What really annoys me though is the P+P charges - heavy item my ****! Starting at 99p the postage alone makes it, in my book, not even worth considering. I would expect to find it in the 50p rummage box at a toyfair. Truth is I do not believe this is a Britains Fordson in any case. I know a complete model of that tractor, with box, sold for £215 the other day but even that is a bit steep. I am just amazed that a WRECK can get to £26 (nearer £30). I shall be interested to see how high it actually goes and may even consider putting my own wreck of a Ford 5000 on ebay! If I was the seller I would be verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry happy at this moment! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Sue I was just looking at your post That tractor is probably cheap now for eBay prices I have watched junk like this sell for 40 quid or more. I guess some people have no clue about toy fairs and prices or they have a tractor with broken parts they want to restore with original parts. They pay this instead of buying re pro or they want a tractor to restore instead of paying stupid money for a mint one. I have several like this but will not pay stupid money for this to get mudguards off it!. I am also curious as to why you think it is not a genuine Britain's as it looks right to me?

Regards Robert The bonnet shape is wrong and the engine should be exposed - you can see through to the other side. This is the spudded wheel version. Think the one with tyres was the identical Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The model on eBay is i believe a fordson super major also by Britain's the real tractor was made around 1960 -64 so it has completely different styling. I just checked on the eBay listing and it has just past 41.00 quid bet you really wish it was yours now from the 50p box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have checked the rest of my Fordson collection and I do have that Super Major model (and it is perfect). "Vintage" to me means 1940's or earlier so I had not considered that one. If "Vintage" is the sixties I dread to think what he would call me! (If I hear/read the word "antique" in connection with this topic I shall get extremely cross. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
