Help with pricing my CNC machine.
I hope this is an appropriate question for this forum. I'm moving from Michigan to Florida and sadly have to leave my CNC behind. It's a 2009 48x96 EZ Router with maybe 500 hours of use. It uses a Porter Cable Router. I was the original purchaser. It was essentially a big hobby toy for me. I added a small laser to the unit for engraving. Never had any problems and everything works well. I would be including the control computer and software.
Here's a link to the current generation of my model. It looks essentially the same as mine. http://www.ez-router.com/products/cnc-r ... outer.html
Any ideas on a resale value?
Thanks,
Mark Solberg

Re: Help with pricing my CNC machine.
Depends on how much time you have to sell it.
If you have lots of time - advertise it at 90% of the cost to buy one new today. You just might get that price. If no hits, then drop to 80%.
It also depends on what still owe on it, or on how much of a hit you can afford to take if you are in a hurry to sell it. Then - maybe 50% of the cost of a new machine at today's price. At that - it should move very fast.
It also depends on how you market the machine.
Maybe you can talk to the supplier you bought it from - maybe they will buy it, or give you a credit towards a new machine after you relocate, or maybe they can find a buyer for it.
You could contact a used machine dealer in your area - but those guys are horse traders and would likely offer you 25% of new.
You can do a search of used machines to see what is available out there and what they are selling for.

Re: Help with pricing my CNC machine.
If you thought you might want to stay with the CNC field, perhaps with a smaller machine, you might consider a trade.

Re: Help with pricing my CNC machine.
Can't help you with a price. Just offering my condolences

Re: Help with pricing my CNC machine.
Thanks for the input. It gives me a good starting point. I never considered a trade for a smaller unit but that might be an option too.
