MN_Runner, excellent point, the friction disk model (CCR200E-FD) is very rare and probably accounts for the $1200. If FD equipped I'd snag it in a heartbeat. You can show it at the Fiction Disk Convention 2011 nest spring in New Jersy. >>>The woman selling the machine said that her parents bought it for her as a house warming gift six years ago How can that be? There is no such thing as a 6 year old CCR2000E. ?? Is the thing a 38181? >>from the local Toro/Ariens super-gouger. She says they paid $1200.00 for it, thus her expected high re-sale price. I get fed crapola every week. Deelers don't go crazy gouging they have to say within limits or loose their dealership. $1200 is fantacy land made up by the lady. >>These things are very scarce around here. Maybe one or two a season show up in local classifieds, so, if it's in excellent shape, I might spring for a couple hundred. It's still $476.00 less than a new one at OK, your in a different ballgame than here for sure. There's several a week here and that does not include what get up and sold in one day so the listing disappears in hours or a day. >>I offered her $200.00 if it's in good condition. She countered with $300.00. (I just realized I have no idea what the Lunney is worth in US). My stuff has been in US dollars. At $250-$300 sight unseen what would you really want to pay factoring in bad rings, scraper worn, augers worn? Would that total be when all replaced? Close or away enough to a new one and worth the risk? You can get a Toro 2450 or other better models for $300 around here. Come to Boston for a week, by a bunch of machines cheap and take them back to Canada.
