You're welcome. Thanks for the interest.

I finally got the auction set up on ebay if anyone wants to take a peak:

Wouldn't hurt to blow off the dust before photographing. It does look in great shape. Good luck on your sale.

[The_Beave]

You are absolutely correct. However, I didn't take the photos, as the box is currently in the basement of a friend's house.

Thanks! I also hope the sale goes well. I'd like to get practicing to pass some pipe tests.

I think the mistake in that was that you put a "buy it now" price. That usually puts a damper on sales as people already suspect the reserve price and aren't willing to bid. Part of the fun is getting it a 990.00 not 1000.00

I usually prefer buy it now on ebay. You might be right, though. If it doesn't sell, I'll change that and a few other things and re-list it.

Thanks!

IMHO, for what ever that's worth....

You're expecting WAY TOO Much for it. I know the "company line" here is to tell you it's worth 75-80% of the original purchase price but In REALITY, you have to consider from the purchaser side not what They want to foster in owner confidence (if Everlast actually had That kind of confidence they would extend the warranty to the second owner instead of taking the opportunity to get out of it)

So you have a $1400 machine that's several years old and missing $300 worth of accessories (Torch/Ground/Stinger/Pedal/Regulator/etc.) and the $100 shipping. PLUS compared to a New one, the 5yr Warranty (I'm gonna put $200 on that). This means that NO ONE, with any sense, would spend $1000, add the $600 missing to it, to have a Used welder for what they could have gotten a New one for!

To ME, USED is worth 1/2 of NEW. Otherwise it doesn't make sense to take the chance and lose a warranty. With your missing stuff I think the "Reserve Not Met" of $600 is top-of-the-Mark.


You should immediately contact the dope who was going to spend $1000 (shipped) and take his money and RUN By the time he gets what he'll need, he's foolish to pay that much.


A few years back I bought a PP256, less than a yr old that the guy wanted $1,200 for. I said it was worth $800 to me (1/2 of new) he said NO but I could come over and look at it. When I saw that the Torch & Pedal had never been used (he had just done some Plasma Cutting). Before he invested in Argon he gave Tig welding a try and decided it wasn't for him and wanted out. I called Everlast to see if I could extend, even Purchase, the warranty but they were adamant about it. I was out-of-luck and the Seller was going to have to give me a substantial discount to account for it....

We settled on $900
