I sold my Oliver 88 on Ebay last June. It was paid for in full and I offered  to keep it under roof until picked up. I didn't specify a time frame to get it hauled off, as I figured it was paid for and who would'nt pick up their new treasure in a timely fashion? (Mistake on my part)

Well, I gave my address, phone number etc, to the buyer. I received one email stating that he would be over to pick the tractor up the following weekend. A few days prior to pick up I received another email stating he had to work overtime that weekend and would need to reschedule. 

That was the last I heard from him. I've sent numerous emails to the email address that was attached to the Ebay account. No reply, nothing  even after threating to charge for storage and questioning whether he even wanted the tractor (I offered to buy it back).

I can no longer view his information as the auction has long expired. I know he lives in Champaign IL, but no street address and no contact number. I just have a first name. I didn't save any of the initial emails, just the last couple where it was discussed about picking up.

I have had no response or contact in six months. I only have that one email address. It is a womens name on the email. It may not have actually been his Ebay account he bought under.  A girlfriend? I guess I can think of several scenarios to explain the lack of contact.
 
I feel I need to make some attempt to close the deal before taking any action to do something with the tractor (Technically I don't own it, but I still have it inside taking up space. The longer it sits chances are I'll need to put on a rear rim and tire just to move it. The Rim is split). I want to do the right thing. How much of the &quot;right thing&quot; is my responsibility as the seller? I'm obligated by the fact I have payment. I could'ved delivered, but that wasn't requested or negotiated. At this point I would haul it for the cost of the fuel one way or about $50.00 just to complete the deal.

I've certainly learned from this &quot;sales&quot; experience. 

Wish you all a Merry Christmas and happy holidays.
