Fair price for my Grizzly X2 CNC ?

[SScnc]

Really not sure where to post this question. I'm thinking about selling my beloved Grizzly G8689 CNC and not sure what it should sell for, a few suggestions would be appreciated !

It has CNC fusion ball screws and nuts, flood coolant and enclosure with custom steel base. Electric powered draw bar, liquid cooled motor and liquid cooled bearing coolers.

Keling CNC drivers, spindle and coolant on/off relays, IBM PC, etc. It's completely turn key and ready to produce very accurate parts.

I can post some more pics of the mill and some items I've made on it.

Thoughts please ?

Add up all the money you spent on it and divide by 2, if you want to sell it quickly.

WOW, thanks but I'll just keep it before I do that !

Sorry, but the previous poster isn't wrong. If you total up your time and cost I don't doubt you would be near the price of a Tormach, in which case, why would someone bother with your machine? Benchtop machines modified for CNC use are by and large not investments, you shouldn't expect it to appreciate.

Near the price of a Tormach ? well I guess I'll consider that a compliment but I never dreamed of being anywhere near the cost of a Tormach, what are they, around $8K ?

I certainly don't expect it to appreciate nor do I factor in my time in the value, it was a labor of love really, got a lot of enjoyment out of working on this. What I did expect is at least one single person to say, I think X dollars would be a fair price. You know what I mean, this great forum is full of very knowledgeable guys so some kind of amount based on experience and/or seeing what others have sold for is what I thought I'd hear.

About $1500 is the upper end of what i would expect you could get. That is probably too high.
