sds8 and sds800, how much are they worth

sds8 and sds800, how much are they worth

2008-09-16 by emulsion123

I have an sds8 and an sds800 that I'm considering letting go of. 
Well, maybe not both, but possibly one of them.  Anyone have an idea
of a fair asking price?  Both are in great shape, everything works great.

Thanks,

Chad

Hard question here since we tend to get a discussion regarding the 
different opinions, but based on my slave-like effort to always browse 
ebay.de and ebay.co.uk I'd say the SDS-8 (without pads) would get you 
somewhere between 80 and 180 euros these days...

However, your estimation does not leave much room for disucssions

I know, the problem of knowing everything! ;) *a joke!!!*

My span is quite wide and yes, there are people asking 500 euros for 
their "brains" but I haven't seen any sold that expensive yet.

And I never mentioned the 800 either... :D

Hi,
I agree with that Jesper ...
I paid 60 € for a new SDS400 which I identify from the same serie as  
the SDS800...

I would say between 60€ & 100€ for the SDS800...

hope this contributes...
Patrice.

Patrice.
PS about people asking 800€ for an SDS800...do they really have a  
brain ...?
