:-D :-D :-D well after 8 months of trying to sell my (85 and in excellent shape) 200x , she is gone to a new home. i took a chance and put in on my father's farm sale and advertised heavily. over the past 8 months or so i took a few ribbings in the chat room and from prospective buyers because of what i wanted out of the ride. so for all of u that wanted me to give it away she brought $1110 on aution day with temps around 24 deg. i can only wonder what it would have brought on a good old 75 deg. day. don't get me wrong i know what a fair shaped 200 is worth, but this was beyond that with a brand new top end. and yes i was asking just a tad more then that but it was time to move on and make abit more room in the old shed for the new toy (kfx 400). now i know i am going to catch hell for having a quad, but the threewheeler was taking a toll on this old body and lets face it parts are overpriced and somtimes hard to find. bottom line is the new owner was happy and i was saticified. that was the last one i had, i sold the kawy 110 to a lady for a christmas gift to her child for $500. lover reading u all posts and still hoping to make a trip to st. anthony's this june. ;)

It sounds to me like you done pretty good at the farm sale. Its been my experience that farm sales with the worst weather have the best turnouts it must be all them farmers not having any thing todo but spend money on them cold days. Josh
