Excuse me, this is my first post and I know how annoying that can be, I moderate a few other forums online. However, I know just enough about welding to be dangerous and found this forum so I have high hopes!
I went to an company auction we had recently and bought a bunch of metal (beam, tubing, etc). There was a ton of stuff there for sale including forklifts, ironworkers, and even welding machines. There was one Miller that was an old 240V machine I wanted. I am putting up a shop this fall and wanted a machine in the shop (other than my old stick machine). Because it was an auction I ended up buying WAY too many. Im not upside down by any stretch but I have NO idea what these machines are worth. Im in NE Oklahoma (area is booming, oil area). My brother in law owns a fab shop. I told him to pick them up and test them and I would let him keep 2. I ended up with 8 machines to sale. Hopefully I can get a little info and guidance....
What I have are two complete machines. One is an old Miller CP-250TS (3-phase, 460V) on a cart with a single feed Wire Feeder, Old Millermatic. The Feeder is on a separate cart with pretty long leads. They unplugged this machine and rolled it into the auction. The second compete machine is a Miller Deltaweld 452 with a Model 60. It too is a complete machine with the feeder on a seperate cart and long leads. It too was unplugged and rolled into the auction.
On top of that I ended up with 6 other 3-phase welders including more Miller Deltaweld 451, 452, a CP-250-SM with a Boom for the feeder (Model 70 Duel Feeder), and an old CP-250TS with an older Miller feeder. I have a handful of the Model 70's with Duel Feeders. Again, in all, after giving my brother in law 2 for testing and hauling them to his shop, I ended up with 9. Ill keep the only 240V so that leaves me with 8 welders to get rid of an I have NO idea where to start.
Ill probably just list them on Craiglist and take them to a massive auction we have in NE Oklahoma 2 at a time until they are gone but I have no idea of real value. Any suggestions is GREATLY appreciated.
