Advice on value of parts I have

[Gerry Sweetland]

Sorry if this should be in another forum but I'm looking for any advice on what I should charge for these motors, stepper drives and controller. I bought this stuff back in the spring of 2009 along with a manual round column RF30/31 clone from a guy who was going to CNC the mill. He got only as far as tearing the mill down ready to modify, building the controller and obtaining motors and steppers. I got only as far as rebuilding the mill, using it for around 2 years and wishing I had a turnkey 3 axis machine like a Tormach. I sold the mill drill when I got the PCNC770 but these parts have been just sitting on the shelf. Thought I would see what they are worth (if they are worth anything?) and put them up in the classifieds.
I checked the web and the Gecko drives are still made but are a "legacy" model, replaced by a better design. I can't find anything on the motors.
Thanks much for looking and offering any input.

Admins,
please move if this should not be in the Tormach area.

For starters, those are servos and servo drives.

The drives are still perfectly good as far as still being usable. They do most of the same things the newer model does. I'd say they would sell for $30-50 each on ebay if taken apart. The motors probably similar value. The enclosure and power supply maybe another $100.

All told you could probably get $400-600 for the lot. There are similar collections of parts new for close to $1k so you might get more from the right buyer.

I bet that if you posted these on the benchtop machines forum, you'd find a buyer.
