Baldor grinder value?

[Chaznsc]

What would you pay for this old baldor on the stand? The seller is asking $150

How bad do you want it? Do they come up for sale often in your area? He's asking $150.... go look at it, talk to the owner, look around the shop while your there and make the lowest offer you feel comfortable making I have found some really nice stuff that I wasn't looking for just chatting with the seller of something I'm slightly interested in.

Personally I'd not pay nearly that much for it, missing a lot of stuff and needs some TLC. Then again, I'm cheap and want bargains!!!

I'm with you, I just am drawn to these old geezers.

The missing guards would cost over $200 to replace.
The stand is heavy, but nothing special.
I wouldn't think it should sell for more than $75~100 tops.

 

[Chaznsc]

He originally had it listed for $300

IMO what makes Baldor grinder special is the quality of the entire package. Most of the package is missing here.

There was an older Bador like this (no stand) on CL here for $50. It lingered for weeks and weeks.

Wouldn't touch it with missing wheel guards unless almost free.

If you wanted something to put buffing wheels on.....it could possibly fill the bill.. I would think $50 should kill it, but that's just me.

That thing is missing too much to be safe or even useful in my shop.

I paid $25.00 at a garage sale for the Baldor below.
