John Deere eBay Exclusives
|
November 2004 - Starting on November 15, 2004, shoppers on eBay will be able to purchase several items which are available only on eBay, through their eBay Exclusives program.
In addition to toys, the eBay Exclusives items will include home decor items, limited edition holiday collectibles, watches, comic books, and ornaments.
We'll be featuring several of the eBay Exclusives over the next few weeks, and today's focus is on three John Deere collectibles:
Precision John Deere 4020 Tractor - Name of Collection: John Deere 200th Birthday Collectable
- Item: Precision John Deere 4020 Tractor
- Size: 1/16 Scale
- Price: $225.00 (Dutch Auction)
- Artist: Ertl Co.
- Limited Edition: 500
- Product Description: This Ertl 1:16th scale die-cast, Precision styled, John Deere 4020 with wide front and ROPS is detailed in gold chrome. A 200th Birthday tribute to the man who changed the American farm, and a tractor that changed American farming.
"The John Deere 4020 is considered by most to be one of best tractors John Deere ever produced and is a true American icon. This limited-production collectible celebrates the 200th birthday of John Deere, who invented the first commercially successful steel plow and founded the company that bears his name. It seems appropriate to me that this collectable is being offered through an innovative medium such as eBay."
