what is a gently used dynasty 200 worth?

[quasi]

machine has a pulser and would be sold with regulator, leads and pedal. machine has been through 3 bottles of argon so maybe 30 hours?

[Supe]

I find one of the biggest price-droppers with the Dynasty's is whether the unit is still under factory warranty or not. Is it still covered?

Depends on where you sell it, IMO. I shopped for a while, watched 'em on ebay and message boards.

They're nuts on ebay. I saw a 2005 Dynasty go for $2900 about 6 weeks ago, with leads, pedal, and regulator.

I'd say average ebay would be $2200-$2600, but be sure to take good pictures and dress up the ad.

On message boards, $2000-$2200.

i think it is almost 3 years old, how long is the miller warranty? it did sit in a box for the first 2 years and had never been hooked up ( i know that still counts against the warranty). i would never look at one of these because i know they are spendy but...

the machine belongs to a friend who doesn't really use it. i think i have logged almost every hour that is on that machine. he is unloading some of his other stuff to free up some cash and i thought i might make him an offer on the dynasty.

Well, since you're the buyer and not the seller, it's only worth $1675 plus leads/pedal. Show your buddy the red-d-arc page, not the $2950 ebay auction. Ha ha ha.

Yeah, not a bad price. I wouldn't gamble on retired rental equipment myself.

Been there, done that.

I would say average used price would be in the $1800-2200 range. I am basing this on the recent slump in overall equipment sales. $3600.00 List (200DX Model),

http://www.millerwelds.com/products/...ty_200_series/

Around $2700-3200+ average for new retail depending on options, location, dealer, etc. $3600 list is for machine only, NO accessories. List price is generally 30% above the price the dealer pays (In the USA). This is so for parts, I believe to the best of my knowledge it is the same for machinery as well. Of course, prices can differ, but this is a rough guide to go by.

Factory refurb machines & demo machines sell from time to time. Just an example:

907101 DYNASTY 700 (AUTO-LINE 208-575) LF430192L

$12,382.00 LIST

$6,810.10 Dealer's Price. (Shipping & taxes are usually not included, other charges may apply as well.)

There were no 200's on the Extranet tonight, but this gives you an idea. They base the actual cost on the year manufactured. Any factory warranty is also based on a pre determined scale. Factory refurbs are a good deal, but a dealer has to make the purchase & work the details out with you. The general public cannot buy direct from Miller.

On something like what the OP has mentioned, $2200 or in the ballpark would be fair. Since it doesn't have any real warranty, as well as the newer ones have updated (Blue Fire) technology, I would think that would be a good place to start, all things considered.

If it was me & I was willing to shell out that kind of money, I would personally take the plunge & buy new with the full 3 year warranty.

That, or see what Weldersales could do for me...

He's one heck of a level guy. Check him out. He may be able to put a good machine in your hands for a good price.

If he's hard-up for cash, offer him $1800.

I'll second that.
