Windley Bros cast iron surface table value ?

[cr500dom]

Hi all
I am having a bit of a sort out generally, I’ve given up my storage unit and as a consequence I’m running out of space in the garage at home.
I have a 4’ x 3’ windley bros cast iron surface table which was used for stainless fabrications.
Probably not good enough for inspection (unless you take it to Clive for a grind) but certainly flat and square enough for a HD fab table.
I’m asking the collective what it’s likely to be worth ?
It’s circa 400kg according to the forklift that put it in my van with its stand.
Thinking I should sell it and buy something smaller to better suit the space I now have available ?
Once I have an idea, I’ll put a proper Ad up on here
So
What’s it worth ?

Very nice.

About £15, I'll give you £20 to save you the trouble of advertising it!

That's a lovely thing by the way!

Etc, etc, etc.

It is a lovely thing, and I don't really want to get rid of it but the truth is, I don't really need it anymore, I need the space it occupies more than I need it.
A 4'x2' laser-cut fixture table is probably more than Ill ever need in all honesty

I would actually say thats low ,,, allowing for the stand too ,,,, 400 be a fair price . more on a good day , but never less.
try and buy a welding table that size and see the costs , or buy and cut the steel to make the stand let alone the table ,,, the shipping kills that stuff , here in NI its non existent , like folders and rollers etc , but in the midlands its laying about everywhere ,

cut it in two ,,,,, yep its a sin on one hand ,,, but if it suits you , it suits you.

There’s a couple on eBay similar, I can borrow a pallet truck to state it out, but it’ll need a tail lift or crane to load I guess

Yeah I went low because value really depends quite a bit on portability and portable it is not!

If you can find someone nearby then you're on a winner. Everybody else needs to factor in a van and mileage. That is now a significant "tax" on all these lovely old heavy things.

I edited my estimate from £325-£425 to account for shipping and the timescale for removal. Want it gone a bit quicker, make it a bit cheaper sort of thing.

FWIW, I'd probably want to pay £150 - £200 for something like that.

If it was sorted, cleaned, nicely photographed and offered for delivery, you could conceivably double it's "value" (if you were prepared to wait).

Yeah I appreciate that, I actually bought it home in the back of my van, a Transit custom, Double cab In Van, lwb
Loaded with forklift and then a drink to the Telehandler driver on the site (New build estate) to unload it at this end, then maneuvered into the garage on a pallet truck.
wasnt too bad.

You could probably load on a trailer with a big engine crane at a push

Nice bit of kit

Have you got a mag drill....

Save all the hassle buying and selling and that will be flatter and stronger than a little 6mm thick laser cut tabletop

Doesnt solve the space issue though ?

 

[mtt.tr]

Disappointingly not much past its weight

 

[pressbrake1]

I’m interested. I’d scrape to grade a as a reference
I’d never drill a crown for a welding table

I agree it does seem sacrilege to drill them but on the other hand a siegmund table is 7 grand and not as strong as the 2 surface tables i gave £1500 each for and spent a day drilling out

The only thing I'd like would be 90 degree sides so they could be drilled aswell to bolt extensions on
