Question on Prices

Post by newportcycle »

Can I get the groups opinion on the retail price of the Power station model# 555422, and a 6 inch belt sander model 505642 if they were in reasonable condition?

What do you mean by "retail price"? Are you interested in the typical used price of a power station and belt sander? I'm not that familiar with the going price for power stations - seems like folks routinely try to get $100-200 for them on E-Bay but I've never paid attention to what they actually sell for. As for the belt sander, if in good condition, seems like they fetch $150-$200 on E-Bay.

Two '47 10E's (serial#4314+6149) - one a dedicated drill press and the other a lathe
Two 10E/ER in parts slowly being restored…#26822 and #????? (SS plate missing)

A Power Station sells for $600.00 new while the Belt Sander goes for $460.

Both can be found on EBay for about 1/3 of that cost. You must remember that EBay items often come with "unadvertised features" that you probably will not want. Eliminating some of these unwanted features can be costly.
