Yeah, you run across that once in awhile. People who don't know much about vintage farm equipment usually just want to get rid of it at most any price UNTIL they run across someone who tells them about so-and-so who got a really good price for some piece of farm equipment that they sold at an auction somewhere. THEN all of the sudden the think that the equipment they are trying to sell is of the same caliber and are asking an enormous price for something that clearly is not worth anything close to that! Or in this case, when you wanted to buy everything he must have figured he was selling it too cheap and all of the sudden decided he wanted more. Most people who have a shed full of mounted picker would be tickled to sell it all in one lump and get everything out of there at once!
