What would be a ball-park price be for a Mobile Dimension mill?  It is well-weathered and needs new belts but is otherwise mechanically sound.  It has seen off-and-on use since it was new in 1989.  It has 4-foot endstands, on site, no trailer and set on bunks with 12 feet of track.  I believe it's a 128?

I've seen them go as low as 5k. One that is fully operational and can mill over 20' go for 10k.  The 128 is where I used to take all my logs too to get milled.

I've been wondering whatever happened to you for years!  I will never forget all the help you gave me when I first got my MD.  I couldn't hazard a guess as to how much it is worth, but the folks at Mobile do appraisals.  You could also peruse the ads on the Sawmill Exchange to see what folks are asking these days.
