Seeking advice

Post by CoalMiner »

Fellow ShopSmith Enthusiasts

I have a 10ER that I FULLY Restored , and I mean tore it apart until it was nothing but a pile of pieces. I have a 520 and a shorty (That I'm gonna turn into a mini)and all of the SPT's. Since Redoing the 10ER, I haven't used it. I have all of the parts including the speed changer and everything to make all 5 tools plus the Jointer Fence. would Someone be so kind as to PM me and tell me approximately what it is worth and best way to sell it. I am going to buy a large plastic model of a railway gun and I would rather see this go to someone who would enjoy it. I don't use it, I use the 520 and shorty. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

it depends on your area.
I have checked Craigslist and the price is all over the market around the country.
I have seen some 10ers go for as little as $150 to over $800
It also depends on you, and how bad you want to sell it.
You have to be happen with want you are asking and what you got for it.

good luck

The two I have purchased were under $100 each and in just use able condition, and in one case that included delivery to my house. They had most of the nominal amount of parts and missing a few optional parts. They did not have SPT's.

In your case you have a restored machine but I have a feeling that is not going to add a lot of resale value. I have seen such machines sell for about $300/$350 list price around here(don't know what the final price was just what they were offered for). Now where you are at means a lot as to value so I can't help you there. Restoration is a labor of love not for money making in most cases.
