Lincoln Square Wave 255...Value??

[jake342]

What's everyone's opinion on this older Lincoln 255? In a few years would there be any resale value?

Thanks!

Yes, I believe the poster of the craigslist add mistyped his post. To me it looks like a 255.

good machine, but they gobble electricity and pull a lot of amps. if you could get it for a 1000, it would be worth it.

Thanks for the reply. You think it is worth 1000 even without a water color? It seems that all the ones I have seen have a pretty standard water color that sits on top.

Yeah, that's a pretty good machine and i doubt you would ever kill it. You don't need a cooler unless you plan on welding some thick stuff.

I pay 1000 bucks for that all day long if it worked fine.

Right on, I'll try to see if I can talk him down to a reasonable price. I'll keep the thread updated if I get it!

Fair/good price for that machine, all depends on what it comes with. Looks to be clean and stated to be well maintained (although not shure what all that would state). They are good machines, I'm not a huge fan of those user interface panels. You are not going to lose much if any in a few years down the road, certainty much less than if you purchased a new machine.

Seller wasn't budging from his $1400 asking price...so didn't get it. Thanks for the education anyways!
