Presto K10 on eBay

Way overpriced, especially since the head is missing, but someone could make an offer.

this is local to me, so I'm interested in it.
I'm getting tired of moving my 6N around...
I'll try and talk to the guy especially as the auction is near closing.
I wanted to go check it out, though it's missing the cutter head so there's not much else I would want to test.

can anyone suggest a fair price for a K10 in this condition?
I'm going to try and make an offer.

$400 maximum...

I'd say even lower, considering it can't even operate in its main function as a cutter as-is.

With no cutterhead, I wouldn't offer more than 200 (and that's only because I have a spare one) . You can find cheaper paperweights.

thanks guys.
I really appreciate the input.
I was originally thinking $400, but now I see that obtaining a cutterhead equivalent to what I'm used to (1-C or 1-D) would cost at least another $200 or so.

You know, I just realized this would be a perfect opportunity for my brainchild of affixing an acoustic engraver to a K-series!

how would that work?
and I guess if the seller won't take $200 then I'm not interested.
I really like the all in one deal of the K-series, especially now that I'm trying to do some live cutting every once in a while.

I checked it out, and I love the unit, though it was priced way too high for me
I think he's selling it to someone who isn't going to use it for cutting, by the way he described repurposing it.
He has an offer of $650 waiting, and I wasn't about to go near that price.

I shouldn't be surprised he got an offer that high. Some people will give ridiculous amounts of money for half-broken things it seems.

^^^hey don't downplay the value, it's a seller's market, with cutters.

If someone wants to pay 650 for a broken k-10 or 2700 for a functional 6N, it shows we're running some sophisticated equipment here.
