The sheriffs department called me on the value of the machine last week.
I told them around 20K would be about right
The other night my snowcat buddy, Scott and I were discussing this machine and what would be a reasonable value. My initial thought was exactly the same same number as yours!
But I recall forum member Mountain Lights had an awfully nice Thiokol with wide tracks, the same cab design, and a front blade (although the machine was older) and it was for sale at $15K for eons.
I could easily be wrong, but I think pricing on used Tuckers tends to be more consistent and understandable. Pricing on Thiokols tends to be all over the place, and the differences don't seem rational, at least not to me.
With 11 days to go, two bidders seem to be battling each other, but at this point the numbers are too low to be meaningful. I'm going to watch and potentially bid....
