Mashinations said:OK, I'll be the voice of dissent here. (3) 15 gallon pots can be had new for $750. Valves, the HERMS coil, pump and controllers are what, maybe another $500? Burners a couple hundred and you're suggesting the stand itself is worth almost a grande - and those are all "new" prices.
As someone else said, one of the challenges is that you're trying to sell a fairly large brewing item so your market is small and something like that doesn't lend itself to shipping so the market gets even smaller.
Controllers and all electronics ALONE are easily $500 not including an enclosure if he bought a nice one.
If the propane valves are ASCO they run $100-200 ea.
That's a couple of "if's"... nowhere does he specify the details on that equipment. And yes, I agree that it's worth that price NEW to get that stuff if I was going to buy it myself... maybe just me, but if I'm buying it used I don't expect to pay as-new prices.
If he's advertising it properly (CL, here, maybe ebay) and not getting a buyer - by definition, he's asking too much.
That is not asking too much by definition. Large expensive items have a limited market. Time plays a role in the sale of large items. You only sell large items quickly when you ask too little.
Thanks for all the good input guys. Oh by the way its only a $50 chiller, its the sticker on it that wourth $150.
