Need Help!- selling my bridgeport series 2, need advice

[Nymisis]

hey guys, I've got a Bridgeport Series 2, 3 axis mill in great condition i'm going to have to part with ... its got a 2hp motor , quick change tooling system .. ways and ball screws are in mint condition .. its using the AH-HA machine master controller tho I'd recommend going with a new retro .. my question is how much should i ask for it and wheres the best place ( besides Ebay ) to post it for sale ... i spent $150.00 listing it on ebay twice without any serious inquires.

thanx,
Rick

Try Craigslist.............It won't cost you anything and maybe someone local will buy it.

It all depends what you are asking for it.
If you asking $10k US and are recomending that it needs to be retro fitted, you might have a tough time selling it.
You could also put in the for sale section right here on the zone.
By the way how much are you looking to get for it and where is it located?

PM me if you want.

The ahha control is limited, and since they are out of business, if the computer goes, the controller goes. You should be able to use the drivers and servo's/steppers, but upgrade it to Mach3 and try to get 8K for it. That's my opinion. The ahha is really the only limiting factor all things concidered. A mach3 controller would greatly increase your machining abiltities and should greatly increase the value. $160 and some work and a 5-6K machine would be worth 8k. And craigs list is probably the way to go.

Plus concider our crap economy, your almost looking for a cash buyer, loans are scarce and most people have had thier credit limits decreased, we're too busy sending Wallsteet crooks on vacation right at the moment.

Hang in there, someone will pick it up, and if your in the 8-10K price range with a Mach3 control, it's a deal. In the right hands, it will pay for its self in 3 months no problem.
