Collected over 25 years by a former John Deere employee, these 188 1/16 scale diecast tractors are in mint condition. They are mostly shelf models, with some precision series and collector’s edition models. The starting bid is $7,000.

They are selling because they don’t have enough display space, which is the bane of collectors. You can always find storage space but there is never enough display space. Who hasn’t spent hours rearranging their collection trying to get a little extra shelf space?
