Mist Green 880

I posted a message a few days ago trying to determine if I had a Mist Green 880. I believe it was rrlund that confirmed that it was. It was also confirmed by the Oliver Museum. Now my question is
what is it worth. It runs, the sheet metal is all there and fairly straight, needs tires and complete restoration. It's LP, narrow front and no 3-point. Thanks for any info.
 
Others may disagree but I don't think its worth anymore than another 880. The only way it would be worth more is if it still had the original paint covering most of the sheetmetal. I always factor in the cost of tires when I price a tractor. The LP option is somewhat rare. I would say $2000. Pics would help.
 
I don't know if they are worth that much more than a regular
880 ,but according to the last issue of the Hart/Parr Oliver
Collector , one restored sold for $12000 dollars. That made me
curious. I have never seen a normal painted 880 bring that much.
 
Not to sound snotty or anything, but if you want to get 12K for your tractor, you best be restoring it completely, and hauling it to a high end consignment sale to get that price. If you didn't have the mist green serial, that tractor pry would be worth a grand, two grand tops. I'm not seeing much more value for it unless its in a clean original shape- maybe try selling it on ebay or something to see what the market on it really is. Is it showing the mist green paint currently, or not? How about a picture of it?!?
 
j. I understand what you are saying. The tractor is not for sale.
I bought it from a good friend for a grand not knowing at the time
that it was a mist green. I knew it did't look right that's why I posted on the forum a few days ago. I feel like I have shorted my friend. I'm trying to find out how much more I need to pay him.
I can't send pictures because I'm working out of town
 
880 tractors are relitively rare and the mist green is even more so. here in canada anyway. there isnt anything that runs that is oliver up here that wont fetch 2000.00 minimum if it runs and with the rare factor the price goes up.
