Saw this add on Craigslist. I know JD prices are going up, but this seems just a little on the high side.

I think he was lookin at Kmh, and MPH!!! I should have held out for more money on mine!!! I MIGHT be sellin mine for $500, but mines in nicer shape... maybe I could have got $1200!!! ROTF LMFAO

Thats an 80 model, looks just like mine, but paints chipped up a lil more!

This is probably a result of the seller seeing a nice or rare sled sell on ebay. They figure, oh that '84 sold for $2400, so my 1980 must be worth at least $1200 because it isn't as nice.

I agree Matt. Call it the Barrett-Jackson syndrome.

I sold mine for 250 2 yrs ago not as gooda shape but decent and running with the lf track on it. I really didnt want to sell it but the kid annoyed me so much I let him have it. Ive sold atleast 30 sleds over the past 5 yrs and only this sled and a badly painted traifire were the only deeres I ever let go. I still wish I kept the sportfire everytime I see pics of 1.

I picked up my '80 Trailfire 2 years ago for just the cost of a 100 mile round trip to go get it. Sat out in a farmers field for 15 years. Cleaned it up, painted the hood and away it went. He threw in a '74 Cheetah 440 too, no extra charge. I love these guys when they get an itch to clean up.

I think he'll be sitting on that one for awhile. He seems to be a little too proud of it.

That sounds more in line to me.
