Sellers blues :(

[5tonman1971]

So today I sold my m813a1 the truck that started it all old oscar did atleast go out with a bang at 12,500$ but he was my first green child, I just stood there as the new owner pulled outta the yard heading easy to PA.

Then later in the day I sold my m923a2 not so attached to this one and it was tan so it had to go.

But man i miss my 813, a lot, already. It looked so good the stance was mean with the 16.00s. I think I'll be in the market for another m809 series preferably a wrecker since I traded off my wrecker project.


Oh oh the sellers remorse is getting to me. ((

Yeah I hear you. I always regretted everything I've sold. Guns, cars ect. They'll come a day though when I need to thin the herd of green machines.

On the bright side HETT's are selling cheap.

Back to the OP, do you have any build (or other) threads with information and pictures from your 813? If so, please share links and let us relive the "glory days" with you!

Look at it the way I do when I share a gas engine or grist mill, old tractor or truck that I saved from the crusher and passed on to a new owner. REMEMBER YOUR OLD ITEM STARTS A BRAND NEW LIFE TO BE ENJOYED BY THE NEW OWNER WHO STARTS HIS MEMORIES WHEN HE PULLS OUT OF YOUR DRIVEWAY!!!! My son was exposed to old trucks,tractors, and engines but in his 20's there are not his thing and probably never will be. I could hoard all my finds and treasures and keep them all to my self but I would have missed.................. The WILLYS MB that I owned that was later re militarized and restored by the new owner and lives on somewhere better than fire engine red with a misfitting CJ cab....... The WWII Studebaker 6x6 that was returned to life and saved from the car crusher which was put back road worthy..... The new grist miller in Ohio who has a grist mill to grind for his neighbors ...... You get the idea you can't keep everything. Mark

I agree 100% with 61sleepercab & have saved much old iron from the crusher. The good part is you have cash to buy another hidden treasure so start hunting which to me is half the fun!

I know what you mean man my M35 is leaving this weekend, it was my first MV also

I met a guy while visiting Winnipeg. He said the only thing in his whole life he regrets is selling his M211.

I just sold my first deuce... I feel your pain.

I was planning on selling my deuce once I got the M923 but the wife said "NO!" so I've still got it. I am thinking of selling the 923 so I can buy a 1079 though.

Lose/lose situation.... We're hoarding if we keep them, broken hearted if we sell them.......and we're "That Guy" if we just hang onto them, sitting in our field.

That suffering you're going through is why 'that guy' keeps all that stuff. Takes a strong man to let someone else enjoy the pleasures our "Oscars" have given to us.
I'm even sad you had to sell...... here's to sharing our "Oscars" with someone else that will love em'.
