I'm thinking about selling my lt28 band mill is there a place to get a reasonable value from? I called Woodmizer and I'm not real confident the gentleman knew what he was talking about.

   Why not?

   I would not suggest trying to sell it for less than WM suggests. Maybe offer it at a significantly higher price and see what happens. 

    You do not mention hours or condition or what else may go with the mill such as cant hooks, blades, spare parts, etc. Has it been shed kept or in the weather? 

    All that comes into play. Is it running so you can demo it to a potential customer?

I have heard that Wood-Mizer has an Orange Book value similar to an auto's Blue Book value.  I suppose that they take into consideration the items that Howard listed above to reach this value or at least a starting point.  You can always come down but not go up so leave yourself some wiggle room.

I sold my 2010 Lt28 fully optioned and fine adjust outriggers for 15k in march. It sat for three months and when the weather broke I had three different people offer to come get it the same weekend. Ask high and give them a few grand to talk you down if your not anxious.
