cbert21 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I have one on these, minus the hood handle and water tank, sitting at my house and was wondering what it would be worth. Everything turns freely and flows air. Sorry do not have any pictures to put up at this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmall Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I've got one of those, without the hood and water tank also, that I paid $125 for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbert21 Posted April 9, 2013 Author Share Posted April 9, 2013 If you have yours running properly I would like to see some pictures of how you ran the belts and the handle/hood. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HWHII Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Depending where you are in this country. I think you should be able to get $300 to $400 for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaughnT Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 If you were near me, I'd certainly entertain the idea of buying it even if it doesn't have all the parts. Location, like in property, is key to pricing the forge. You might also consider marketing it to decorators and movie studios. Personally, if you were close enough for me to drive over, I'd go $200 simply because I want it and those types of forges just don't crop up that often in my neck of the woods. I don't know what I might have to replace or repair, but I think we could definitely talk about it. The problem with pricing something like that is that a lot of working smiths might like it, but have to prioritize their purchases. Would you rather have an antique forge that cost $500 with shipping, or build a working forge that meets all your specs for significantly less? Are you forging iron, or creating a display?
