Here is the situation:
Around 2 1/2 years ago I was presented with an opportunity to buy a Liberty Industries (made in China) TW04 (made 11/2001) 3PH hoe attachment. Model No. 77. At the time I offered $1500. Offer shot down.
Today, was called and offered same machine. Keep in mind that said machine has sat outside for at least 4 years. Has not moved from original spot. All hoses are weather checked but I can't be sure how much they are worn through.
The 3PH pump does turn by hand, but other than that I have not a clue if the impeller is good enough to pump oil enough to run the thing. Same bucket of hydro lube is still sitting in bucket next to square hydro fluid reservoir as was there almost 3 years ago. The seat still is in better shape than I would have ever thought after these years.
My plan is to offer $750 or $800. If she doesn't accept, then I pass and let it slide. I should also add that this is an old, sorta done divorce deal.
Any thoughts on what it's really worth or what my offer should be?
Thanks much, responders!
