I am going to sell my Grizzly mill and have no idea what to ask for it. There are none on EBay or Craigslist to compare too. So I thought I would ask here for some ideas on a fair market price for a used machine. Once I come up with a good price I will offer it for sale here first. It will be a local pick up for obvious reasons.
I bought the machine new in 1989 , it has a power feed and a 3 axis DRO. Here is a link to the "New" machine on Grizzly's website. http://www.grizzly.com/products/8-x-30-Vertical-Mill-with-Power-Feed/G0731
I also replaced the cheap switch so many times that I finally got feed up with the cheap switch and replaced it with a proper Allen Bradley motor control. The 4" swivel vise also goes with it. And some additional R8 tooling. I have only used it a couple of times in the last few years since I got my CNC machine. It is just taking up space which I need for another new machine. ( CNC Lathe )
So $3,800.00 new plus a 3 axis DRO and another $100.00 for the motor control brings it close to $5000 to replace new.
I have no idea what used machinery goes for. What do you guys think a fair price would be ?
This one was built in Taiwan not China. It is in very good shape and has been used a lot over the years and has some cosmetic flaws but no rust.
The machine is under power and can be inspected here in Medina Ohio.
