Considering putting our Hansvedt SM-150B up for sale. Problem is, I don't know what the market is for them or if there even is a market for them. eBay seems littered with them, but they also seem to sit there. Everyone wants $3.5-5K for them when they run well, but I don't see them selling. Maybe they are and there are just that many to sell??? 
Searching completed listings shows a number that sold for less, and some that sold for asking, but I'm not sure if that is reliable data or not. Seems like just ending an auction makes it show up as completed.
I don't do much sinker work any more because I dislike it so much. Plus, I have another shop I can farm it out to if I need to. So when I add up the factors ( disliked, have an available vendor, like the space more than the machine, not much call for that work, etc... ) the smart money seems to point to letting it go to a good home that would actually use it.
... but I'm still left with what price to put on it. Anyone know what they actually sell for?
( and because I know it will come up - very good condition, runs like a clock, no issues, new filters and oil, with work chuck, tooling chuck, and some 3R 20mm tooling )
Thanks.
