BX2200 value

[wrenches65]

I am looking at a BX2200 that is on an auction. It has a LA211 loader on it and turf tires. It also has a Kubota belly mower that has never been used. Approximately 600 hours on it.
Sheet metal is straight and the tractor does not appear to have been abused. The paint is a bit faded but I think it will clean up well.
I'm just looking for a ballpark number on what it should be worth. I may keep it or if I get it bought right, trade it for something a bit larger.
Thanks for your input.

In todays market, between $8000 - $10000. It isn't worth buying a used tractor if you have good credit and can afford to make the payments on a new tractor. I got $13500 for my BX22 and it originally sold for $16000. It had a 60" belly mower deck that was well used and a 48" front snowblower that was 16 years old and used hard and put away wet. I probably could have sold the snowblower for $1000 if I held onto it till the winter.

Thanks Dusty. That is a little bit above what I was thinking but as crazy as equipment is right now, I could see that kind of money being paid.
We'll see where it lands when the gavel drops.

'fair' price...at an AUCTION ????!!
I've seen used ,abused stuff go for more than MSRP.
1st step.. READ the 'fine print' on ACTUAL buying price(out the door.) Local auction house charge 15% buyers premium, then there's GST of 13%, so a $100 bid will cost you $125, $1000 becomes $1250, $10K empties $12,500 out of your wallet.....

since online became popular, very,very few true deals to be had.

so please ,READ the fine print !!!

From all I’ve read/heard, BXs don’t keep their value that well compared to other sizes. Nobody can “upgrade” to a BX unless they don’t have a tractor. Not that they are bad at all, but they are very small. They don’t seem to be that hard to find in new versions.

Throughout the “covid period”, there were always BXs at every dealer I saw. I think I’d probably look at new, and price one out and go from there.

It's 7% BP on this one, which simply means that I bid at least 7% less than I would otherwise, if I bid at all.
Buyers premiums piss me off and I've told auctioneers that and why. Some agree but on the whole they don't care. Many people don't care or don't think about it until after they've bought the item and it's too late or they get caught up in "winning".
It also astounds me how many go to auctions to buy at least fairly high ticket items without having done any research on what the item is worth as it sits and what they could purchase new for.
