advice on price of mig welder

[michael070483]

Hi,

Can anyone advise me what would be a suitable price to ask for the equipment linked below?

I'm trying to get rid of a relatives welding equipment, have put them on ebay and am being inundated with buy it now requests.

Thanks, and sorry if this is the wrong part of the forum to post this.

Let the auction run.

If people are asking "for buy it now" prices they're trying to get you to sell it cheap.

The value of anything is what someone is prepared to pay for it.

I once sold something on Ebay for over £1000 when people were offering me a few hundred for a quick sale.

cheers mate i think i will do, but the only complication is someone might be interested in having a general look at some stuff as well as taking the mig welder.

can anyone offer a general guide price as to what the siegen 210 turbo is worth please?

I agree with letting it run, I had the same with a motorbike that was well past it, got loads offering around the £400 mark, it sold for £720.

Put the rest of the stuff on as well in seperate listings.

You can even turn a profit, I bought some spotlamps a couple of years ago for £25 just sold them for £42

Only last month, I bought for a bit of daftness ten 25 metre tape rules from the £ shop, put them on a buy it now at £3.99...they all sold in 7 hours.

Which means they will bid more than 300 notes
