Pault17 Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Tell him they are worthless, take em home and send me one. I get half the dogs too:D Sorry. I actually have no firm idea - others will. At the lowest end, you could offer scrap price. Keith, after seeing where you live. I will drive up and grab one too:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintjohnbarleycorn Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 what is an acorn platter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Acorn Platens are high tensile strength gray iron sand castings featuring 1 3/4" square holes spaced on 3 1/2" centers. The top surface and side edges are machined to a flatness of 0.005" per linear foot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike-hr Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 On the west coast US, $400-1500. It will also cost you a bit to load/unload, and build a heavy duty stand. Worth it in my opinion, I love mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdalcher Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 They can be kind of pricey, but if not being used, I would offer scrap price and think I got HECK OF A DEAL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Murch Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 If he doesn't know anything about them, see if he will take scrap price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fritzdecat Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Buy them both and then sell me one. I'm in North Carlina about three hours away. Let me know what goes down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
