How $much$ should I ask for my disk??

[Chris99320]

Gentlemen,

I have a disk I want to sell but I don't know how much to ask for it. It's a Ford #200A, 3pt, 4 1/2ft wide, two rows of blades and built fairly stout. It is mechanically in good shape, though the paint is weathered.
My needs have changed and I hope to use the money towards a rototiller.
The disk was very useful when I was breaking up a couple acres for some pasture, but it doesn't work that well in a garden plot or other small areas.
Thanks in advanced for your input.

You can buy a new for $400-600 so I would say somewhere around $300 or less.

I paid $300 for an older 6' disk; it's very heavy. I don't use it much anymore either but, I just can't seem to part with it. I'd like to use it more; there's just something about working the dirt that I like.

Put it up for auction on Ebay, you may get alot more than you think (may not, of course).

Guy I know sells posters for $10 on average. He put the same posters for sale on Ebay and got over $100 for them.

Gotta luv the free market!

Thank you guys.

I was thinking $350ish and of course hoping for a lot more. After all, it's a genuine Ford.

i'd say around $200-$250 .aWhat is the condition of the bearings ?Are the discs broken from not raising it while trying to turn it?What did you pay for it?
I usually try to get between 85-90 % of what I paid for older used equipment if I haven't destroyed it. If I can't get that I "just pull it over to the weeds" and let it set ..I'll find a use for it one of these days
