Now you've gone beyond venting and just flat out being a jackarse.  There's a lot of tractors out there that cost more than my house, and I just had it built a couple years ago!  Maybe the guy just happened to drive by and see it, or just learned about it since he'd last seen his wife.  Hell, before I go to an auction, I run it by my wife what is there and what the potential price I'd be willing to pay.  I guess you want a pat on the back for being man enough to not feel like you need to discuss options with anyone and that you're a big boy who can wire the money sight unseen.  Good for you there buddy.  If you were in a partnership with an aquaintance, would you just buy a tractor of any price?  For some of us, our wives are the same type of partner.  Go be a DB on some other site, this "I've been wronged" crap is getting old on here.  Fake news.
