hey guys

I'm peddling this welder, a CV miller "spoolmate 200" welder with the
"spoolmatic 1" gun. did quite a bit of 'detailing' on it (like it
matters, me can only hope). I've been asking $800, but unsure if that's
way high, "way low" or "just about right" for an *asking* price...

*SURE* appreciate if you guys would tell me what sum -you'd- be asking
for this setup if you were the seller :-)

or maybe tell me 'about what they usually go for, generally', or
something...*any*thing you tell me would be more than I know now...

you can gaze upon the thing here in ALL its' glory:

Considering that it includes that spoolmatic gun, I think that $800 is
not unreasonable, but be ready to drop the price, as times are tough.

Yesterday I bought a Millermatic 251 with a bunch of welding wire,
solid and fluxcore, including a big spool of Monel, full owner gas
tank, mig gun, and also a Delta 17-700 3/4 HP drill press in like new
condition, all for $1,000. So it is hard to say how much I paid for
the Millermatic, as I bough it together with the drill press, maybe I
would say $850, but my point is that it is a buyer's market. I do
think that the guy who sold that stuff to me could have gotten more
elsewhere, but not outrageously more.

I would say that if not for $800, but for $600 you can sell it for
sure, but I would try selling it for $800 first.

This is all assuming it is 1 phase.

I concur with Iggy on this.

Gunner who has a nice! Airco PhaseArc 350 (3ph 300 amp mig) for sale and

Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional,
illogical liberal minority, and rabidly promoted by an
unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the
proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

well, no. but, admittedly, maybe "a few too many" photos, ay?

I do tend to overdo it at times...
