Fair price for backyard buddy lift

[Nigeltufnel]

An acquaintance of mine is selling his 4 post backyard buddy lift and, since I'm in need of a 4-post lift, I'm interested in it. The lift was purchased January 2017, and is a lightly-used 7000lb, 110V model and includes two drip pans. The original invoice was $5295, which I believe included delivery and installation. The invoice also lists $300 for an “RJP” option (not sure what that stands for).

No price was given -just "make me a reasonable offer". So what do these go for in used condition?

Thanks!

Guy recently paid 3500 for a similar one

Just bought 4 post lift, 7000lb challenger. Used but basically new- $1500.00

Lift prices have risen dramatically in the past five years.

Go to the BB website (they’re owned by Advantage now), and get the current price, less installation. Offer him 60% of that.

Locally there is a 8,000 pound Challenger two post lift for sale for $1,500 with no bites, and another place has ten 9,000 or 10,000 pound, a mix of Challenger and Bend Pack two post lifts for sale for $2800. Neither place looks like they are selling.

I’d guess that the “RJP” is a Rolling Jack Platform, a bridge between the runways to jack against. I’d agree with finn, and ask what he says about $3K.

Thanks everyone! This gives me a good starting point.

what ever it take to get it on your trailer

Less than a year ago I bought two Ammco (Challenger) lifts for $800 from a Lincoln dealership that was renovating. I sold one and kept the other, they both work great. It was a bit of a pain as I had to be there with trailer as they were being removed. I think they typically go for ~ $1,500 ea, but they didn’t have to transport, unload, store, or advertise these. If I could have gotten them unloaded quick enough, I’d have gone back for more.
