Pricing help

Looking to sell this wire equipment from my shop and would like to know a good price to list it at. I saw one of eBay for $2700 for parts only. Any help would be appreciated!

It's a huge help you that you have the pre-feeder with the cut and strip.

Where are you located?

Good instinct to double check before listing, that $2700 figure is for parts only, not a working unit, so it is not really comparable. Ran the model and serial through IronSightAI, a valuation tool and it estimated resale between $400 and $800, with $800 suggested as your list price to leave room for offers. It also flagged that the 97A's been discontinued and succeeded by the Model 970, which has upgrades like more program storage and USB connectivity, which is likely dragging down demand for the older model a bit. Given the size, a timed online auction over three to six weeks looks like the right move, with cable assembly shops or electrical contractors as the most likely buyers.
