Is this guy for real?

$3,700? Can that be right for an IR 60-gal 2-stage?

The "new" version of my 7.5hp Campbell Hausfeld is $2600. Isn't IR supposed to be more "premium" than CH? If so, then that's probably a legit price.

It's a 3-phase unit, too - dunno if that makes it more expensive. The CH unit I'm thinking of is single phase.

Only a thousand more than new.

says 3700, if its $2700 new thats probably what he ment and is simply trying to recoup as much as possible.

I hope you don't plan on trying to hook up 3 phase in your home garage

LOL, no. I'm fine with my IR Garagemate. The price just seemed a bit high given the model.

Why not? Just get yourself a Phase-O-Matic or Phase-A-Matic.

$$$$$$$$$ Id rather get a good single phase compressor. Plus they won't pass electrical inspection in my area.

 

[kythri]

Yeah, they're not exactly cheap.

Portland's Craigslist had a REAL nice 7.5HP air compressor for around $400 a month or two ago. Spacing on the brand at the moment, but it was a quality unit, not ****.

Only problem, it was 3-phase.

Seller was offering the Phase-A-Matic unit he used, but wanted $1200 for it.

Bwhahahah.

I can get a brand new DevAir (formerly Develbus canada) for less than that overpriced IR.

Some people are nuts. Do they actually think a person serious enough to spend 3k on a compressor wont do a little research first? (dont answer that lol)

 

[kythri]

Wasn't IR generally accepted to be "better" than Devilbiss?

old IR was decent.Very good compressor. THere were lots of Devilbis around though too. As to which was better id say it was even. New IR... not so much.

These Devairs (now DVsystems spun off in 1990) HDI models are tanks. Same basic design for like 50 years. Big hunk of cast iron, plus theyre made here. With IR who knows now.
