How much should I be asking for my welder?

admin

I have a Hobart Mega Arc 5040DD welder that I have had for 4 or 5 years and now I need to sell it. My problem is I have no Idea what its actually worth. Here are the details and some pics of what I am selling. Could you all please offer your advice and help me determine an asking price.-500 amp-3 cylinder deutz diesel engine-on board air compressor with tank-mounted on trailer-3250 hours-150' of 2/0 welding cable (75'stinger & 75' ground)-remote with about 100' of cordIt runs and welds good. There is only one thing wrong and I will be up front the auto idle doesn't work when using the auxiliary power. So it won't kick the engine up to fast idle when you plug in power tools. The auto idle works good when welding so I have never bothered to actually fix the problem. Most times if I was going to be using it as a generator I would just manually flick the switch to high idle.So everything all together whats a fair asking price for my area. I live in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.Thanks for any help anyone can offer.

Reply:I guess another way to ask the question would be to ask what would everything be worth if I were to sell it all separately?
