I was going through some of my welding stuff I don't use and getting it listed on e-bay and noticed my plasma cutter sitting under the table. I bought it new about 10 years ago for a project repairing some breakwater on Grand Lake in Oklahoma. Since then it has been used only a few occasions that I can think of and has been several years since I used it. Since I dont' use it and at some point consumables will be hard to get I decided to get rid of it. If I remember correctly I paid about $1,500 for it. I decided to list it on ebay and see how it does as far as resale value. I'm pretty amazed that it's already up to $400 and only been up for a day.
I have bought an sold quite a few welders over the years and have always come out pretty good it seems. I've purchased a used Miller Maxstar 150 a while back on e-bay, used it a year or so, and ended up selling it for $20 more than what I purchased it for. I also bought a Hobart Handler 125 new and ended up selling it for about $75 less than what I paid several years later. I had a Everlast PA200 that I bought new for $350 but it only brought $225 less than a year later on e-bay.
It's actually pretty amazing how some welders can maintain their value over the years.
Anybody got any resale value stories?
