Half Price Edison Class M
Donley Auctions just sold the Class M that was talked about recently on the Forum for $12,000...

12K was indeed the hammer price, but dont forget (cause it is money after all) There is a buyer fee of 15% onsite and 23% internet. It is indicated that this was onsite so you can add another 1800 to the 12K for a grand total of $13,800 and it needed some work to make the machine whole. Still a reasonable deal for someone for sure. John

Plus Illinois requires a 7% sales tax on top of the hammer and premium.
Still a nice machine.

I guess my point was that the $15-20,000 Seller's Estimate was overly optimistic and not realized... the added fees don't benefit the seller. For years I have been hearing $25,000 as the approx. value of these machines.

Everything is down, way down. Still the Class M had a long crack in the case.

Is it? I have the sense that prices have been sliding on these machines for the last five years.edisonclassm wrote:Bargain price for this machine
