What is a SA200 parked in the weeds worth ?

admin

I know that cheap "barn finds" are everyones dream, but I assume that pulling stuff out of the weeds are typically not worth cost + effort.   Does $700 seem overpriced ?http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/hn...182246980.htmlI won't have time for a project until I retire or get laid off, whichever comes first.   If I did buy something like this, I would have to prep and store it in the barn.   And if I die before I retire, then it will end up as a barn find for someone else.Century buzzbox that I learned on 40+ years ago (was Dad's)Crappy Century 110volt mig 70 amp pigeon pooper.Lincoln Idealarc TIG-300
Reply:too much, figure scrap value a few hundred, unless you can fire it up and see if it welds....then thats a different story...Of all the things I lost I miss my mind the most...I know just enough about everything to be dangerous......You cant cure stupid..only kill it...

Reply:If I'm buying, it's worth $200.If I'm selling, it's worth at least $1,000 since I'm selling you a world famous machine that will be completely awesome and make you weld like a rock star, the envy of all your buddies, after you fix it up.

Reply:Just Called the guy, Shane, it's sold.  Checked for critters, added fresh fuel and it popped off and welded.  A "weldor" picked it up.  Maybe it was Bead-boy?Everlast PowerPro 256, Everlast W300 Cooler, Everlast Cart 250Millermatic 211, Spoolgun 100, Miller HD CartJackson W60 Truesight Digital Auto Darkening, Victor 315 Torch sitting on a Harper 830-86 cart
