what is a gently used dynasty 200 worth?

admin

machine has a pulser and would be sold with regulator, leads and pedal. machine has been through 3 bottles of argon so maybe 30 hours?
Reply:I find one of the biggest price-droppers with the Dynasty's is whether the unit is still under factory warranty or not.  Is it still covered?
Reply:Depends on where you sell it, IMO. I shopped for a while, watched 'em on ebay and message boards.They're nuts on ebay. I saw a 2005 Dynasty go for $2900 about 6 weeks ago, with leads, pedal, and regulator. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=320424397799I'd say average ebay would be $2200-$2600, but be sure to take good pictures and dress up the ad.On message boards, $2000-$2200.The soldering toys pay for the welding toys.Hakko 928 dual iron, 4xHakko 936Madell 850D Hot Air SMT ReworkMiller 252, HTP Invertig 201 AC/DC, and a Hypertherm 45.

Reply:Well, since you're the buyer and not the seller, it's only worth $1675 plus leads/pedal.  Show your buddy the red-d-arc page, not the $2950 ebay auction.

Reply:I just saw a 200 DX for sale today for $1600.  I sent the seller an email asking how old it was.  Any of you guys aware of any weakness or design flaws in this machine?
Reply:The seller just replied...machine is 5 years old and includes foot pedal and a new torch.

Reply:Now I need a tank of Argon.  My LWS wants almost $200 for an 80 cu ft tank....seems a little pricy.Also, this machine is WAY more complex than my Millermatic 211.  I'll spend next week studying the manual probably asking a lot of stupid questions on this forum.  The manual had typical parameters for 1/8" alum and 16ga stainless.  I'll use these to get started and then vary the settings to see what happens.BTW...the seller said I only need 100% Argon for TIG or MIG...carbon, alum or stainless.  That didn't sound right to me.  Have you guys ever heard of this "one gas fits all" theory.  I've been using 75 Ar/25 CO2 for my MIG on carbon steel and it works great.  Tried 100% Argon once on alum and the results were OK.  I understand that the TIG will need 100% Argon but I think I need to keep my 75/25 for the MIG on CS.
