Welder Plasma Cutter Resale Value

[roadhunter]

Auction is almost over and it's passes $1,200 already. I was hoping for $1,000. All and all that's pretty impressive for a plasma cutter to maintain it's value like that over a 10 year period.

The truth is if you buy good quality tools they will maintain their value and the cost to use them is amazingly little compared to the purchase price. I"m not sure I woudl even buy a new welder again as buying one used and then selling it a few year later is really affordable.

What amaze me is how high the old Lincoln SA-200s sell for in the mid west. I've seen them go for $8,500.00! :shocked::shocked::shocked::shocked:

I had been given an SA300 that needed to be refurbished by a buddy. It had a 6 cylinder flat head continental engine on it. I believe my buddy finally sold it for $600 about 10 years ago.

It's nice to get that kind of money for a 10yr old unit especially when it can blow up at any second and be worthless. You did good !

I was worried about losing a "board" as apparently those are worth nearly as much as a new machine. Bought for $1,500 and sold for $1,389. Cost me just over $100 plus the interest lost from tying up $1,500 for a decade. All and all the cost per cut was pretty reasonable.
