If you don't think it's worth it, then don't buy it. Pretty simple. Shoot him an offer that you feel comfortable with. If he takes it, great, if not, move on.

Jonathan, you are right. No Cub is really worth what you pay for. And I will make a statement...169's are overpriced. Period. The only thing that makes them "rare" (and I use that term loosely anymore with these) is that they made 4,005 of them. They are a glorified 149. And that is coming from a guy who has owned FOUR 169's. While 4,005 is low in Cub numbers, they seem to all be surfacing here in the last year or so, due to the word being spread that they might be worth something. So, in my opinion, they should be worth $100-150 more than a good 149.

That being said, I realize that I have been trying to sell one of mine in the 7-900 dollar range, which most probably think that's freaking ridiculous. BUT, when you see collectors like Nick who are willing to pay higher prices for Cubs that are lower production, why should I follow suit to guys that are lower than me? If they want to pay it, let them! I know I wouldn't give that kind of money for one, but, thats me.

That's just my .02 on the deal. If anyone don't like it, tough!

I agree, I know I wouldn't pay through the nose,I will find one eventually and move the decimal point to the left.....

If cubs, wheel horses, or Jane Does are priced accordingly, they will sell. If priced low, they sell faster. If priced high or overpriced, the prolly will sit for a while...............

Nuff said.............

Nick nothing wrong with being 15 and into cubs. Most 15 year olds are drooling at video games. Keep your insight and knowledge coming. None of my busines what you or your Dad pay for cubs. Nobody elses either unless you make it public knowledge. Lew, don't say a word.

You didn't even give anywhere near that for your 800, and it's way more rare than a 169. When it comes to older cubs, you DO NOT get what you pay for. They all need work, and the more expensive ones are just that. More expensive. Unless your buying fully restored, it's not worth giving $1200 IMHO. I guess if you have money to blow, that's up to you.

Nick, you do need to remember that what we spend on cubs is our own money, someone isn't buying them for us. Not being mean, or rippin on you. But seriously man, your only 15.

I agree with you. I hate it when people ask "what is it worth". Especially when it's after they buy......

If I were to sell my cubs, they would be high..... because I don't want to sell them.

No one said we are willing to pay more.

all I can say is my 169 is a premium tractor and we had to do what we had to do to get it. Don't like it? Tough. Lol

Please don't tell me I'm 15 and that I spend my dad's money, IMHO, it is not right and it is none of anybody's business as josh stated. I treat people on here how I would like to be treated... With respect, follow the golden rule.

Was it a false statement?

Listen Nick, I said I wasn't ripping on you. I like you man. Your a good kid. But it's not really fair to everyone else when you use the word "I", when it's not really you. My point is, if you yourself were the one spending money, then it's fair to make recommendations. But as it is, it's not. I just don't think it's right when you say "I'd spend $XXX", or "I think it's worth $XXX" when you have never spend a dollar of your own money on a cub. I'm done. Just be honest, that's what I'm saying.
