Hypertherm 380 - what's a fair price?

admin

Hi WW - Long time listener, first time poster here.  I'm strictly hobbyist doing most of my work on my / for my '89 Land Cruiser - also a little art on the side for the wife..which I am hoping to use as a "reason" to justify a Plasma Cutter - it's for you babe, not me Found a 380 locally for sale on Craigslist, posting says gently used, I'm hoping to go out and check out / test the unit out.  I've poked around here, read the different posts from everyone (including the man himself Jim Colt) and I know the 380 is an older technology 27A unit, torch parts are still available, but power supply parts are no longer available.I know the consistent advice here says save and afford a newer/better model (like a 30/30XP or 45) - but I gotta be realistic with my immediate needs and finances (2 kids).Asking what folks think is a fair asking price if the unit is as described by the seller.  Thanks in advance for the advice/direction.-Kent
Reply:If it works and looks decent, maybe $250.  It was around $1600 (if I remember correctly). Is good for Sheetmetal....severance cut on about 1/4".  Jim Colt
