Re: [MBZ] What to Do? Fix and Seel or Just sell as is?
Well I posted the Van for sale this morning on Craigslist and sold it 11 hours later. Asked 1800 and got 1600 cash. I think trade in value was in the range of $1800-850. And now I DO NOT HAVE TO TRY AND FIGURE OUT HOW TO FIX THE STUCK DOOR. Thank you for your thoughts and input!

This is a good example of where Zillow is totally whacko. It doesn’t appear that they even took the data from your purchase of Okie Acres into consideration.

Re: [MBZ] OT new property, half-vast estate
Zillow doesn’t appear to deal well with disparities or inconsistencies relative to comparable properties. I have to believe they take what sale data they can get from the county or municipality, but even so, their “special sauce” doesn’t seem consistent. Average price of a home in my neighborhood is in the mid to low $300s. The only house that’s sold since February just closed last month at $363k. I’m waiting to see what that does to the values in the neighborhood. That being said, I get a monthly email from Zillow about trending values relative to my ZIP code, and it seems to be fairly accurate. Since they’re using a much larger sample I would expect the numbers to be a bit more accurate. -D > On Sep 10, 2020, at 5:06 PM, Curt Raymond via Mercedes > wrote: > > Well, Redfin marks us at $197,000 which is $20k higher than Zillow.

Re: [MBZ] OT new property, half-vast estate
Yeah, I know but at one point based on them we were $-100,000 on a house that didn't cost $200,000 so its nice to see their rating back in our ballpark. I think their rating for us is low.

Re: [MBZ] OT new property, half-vast estate
You know I randomly got a couple checks out of our refi also. One from the mortgage company, one from the insurance company and one other I don't recall. Then I got a bill for $12.65 of underpaid taxes... It kinda worked out, with the furlough weeks I had to take from work the money was handy. I got unemployment for some of those weeks but not all. It turns out if you don't submit for unemployment for a few weeks they drop you. Then when you got to submit again you need to reopen your claim the week you aren't working so you can submit a request for benefits the NEXT week. I *think* I've done it correctly this week but won't know for sure until next week... -Curt On Wednesday, September 9, 2020, 4:00:42 PM EDT, Floyd Thursby via Mercedes wrote: Here there are no-cost refis.

Re: [MBZ] OT new property, half-vast estate
Zillow shows our first house, the rental, is in the 250k range, which could be close or perhaps a little high. Not sure. It shows our current vast estate as worth $85k.

Re: [MBZ] Brush removal
Safety note: Remember when pulling with a tractor to hook LOW on the tractor and only to an approved pull point. LOTS of farmers have been killed when a tractor pivoted on the rear wheels and rolled over. Even with ROPS you're going to get quite a knock if it rolls. This is especially true on dry ground, if the ground is wet the tractor will lose traction before it rolls. I've had the front wheels of the tractor leave the ground before, had my foot hovering over the clutch so I could bring it down but things got sketchy... -Curt On Wednesday, September 9, 2020, 4:50:49 PM EDT, G Mann via Mercedes wrote: I just use a log chain.

Zillow is useless, their numbers are rarely accurate. Our house was values at more than 25% than what we sold it for, which was about 5% over the appraisal and right in line with comps in the area that had sold within 3-4 months. Interestingly, as soon as we listed the house, the Zillow value plummeted by 30%. Within a few weeks it was back where it had been.

Re: [MBZ] Brush removal
This, but you need a large diameter rim (remove the tire). The rim translates the pulling force to a lifting force. The bigger the rim diameter and the closer you get it to the stem, the greater the lifting force. The 'U' profile of the rim contains and guides the chain, won't slip off the side of the rim. Also very effective for uprooting wooden power and telephone poles, should the need arise.

They use the same Chinese carbs (ZAMA?) as everybody else. When it gets crudded up, the mechanic throws another one on. At $20-30 a pop, it's way cheaper than paying the mechanic to rebuild it, and rebuild kits are pretty much unobtainium for that reason. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

Re: [MBZ] Brush removal
I never had any luck with those choker things. Usually they just slid up skinning the branches. You can bend the loader with too much asymmetric load. Not something you want. A tractor is not a bulldozer. You can load up the draw bar all you want. Be more cautious with the 3-point but it's cheaper to fix a 3-point than a loader. If you put a cross bar between the 3-point lower arms it makes a decent way to lift and pull. If you have strong roots nothing beats a ripper. > -Original Message- > From: Mercedes [mailto:mercedes-boun...@okiebenz.com] On Behalf Of > Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes > Sent: Wednesday, September 09, 2020 5:15 PM > To: Mercedes Discussion List > Cc: Kaleb Striplin > Subject: Re: [MBZ] Brush removal > > I figure maybe I could use the FEL to lift up while pulling back. > > Sent from my iPhone > > > On Sep 9, 2020, at 3:50 PM, G Mann via Mercedes > wrote: > > > > I just use a log chain.
