Udimore Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Hi, Does anyone out there have any ideas why the Ford 6600's are worth more money than the earlier 5000 (square mudguard version) with virtually the same castings, doesn't make any sense to me i would have thought the older models would be worth more?

Udimore Posted November 27, 2005 Author Share Posted November 27, 2005 Come on guys & girlies, someone must have some idea. Or why the new Britains combines are worth more than the old massey toy of the year 1977. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 I would say a 5000 is worth more than a 6600. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Ah!! Them prices you've got tonight are about right, did they both have original cabs etc?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Udimore Posted November 29, 2005 Author Share Posted November 29, 2005 Yeah both had original cabs with slight yellowing but that always adds to the character i think , the average rate i have found has been 6600 = 34gbp & the 5000 = 29gbp.

You've done well with the 6600's then, normally 25 to 30 for a tidy looking one, 30 to 50 for the 5000's as a rule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1972farming Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 does anyone out there have a picture of one ??? Heres a picture of mine .I bought it 2 years ago .Sorry about the flash ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1972farming Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 It could be for sale soon if the one on ebay makes decent money .I want to buy some more DDNs and older stuff so the newer stuff from the 1970's may have to go . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Udimore Posted December 29, 2005 Author Share Posted December 29, 2005 Looks good 1972 :) dont sell anything you will only regret it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1972farming Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 The problem I have is lack of funds so I keep selling my newest stuff to buy older models . For instance I would rather have a boxed DDN than boxed MF 595,MF 590 FORD 6600 etc . I also do a bit of converting for mates which brings in some more dough . I try to let my collecting keep itself financially so I try to buy job lots etc . That way is much quieter for me ,the wife can't moan then if we can't feed the 3 kids we have !
