Ok, I'm still on the hunt for a small personal compressor and have been constantly perusing ebay, craigslist, govt. liquidation, scubatrader, usedscubacompressors.com and the gear classifieds at SB and TDS in search of one.
So I found a 10 year old Bauer Junior on ebay, the 225 bar version, in "perfect" working order and close enough (150 miles) that I could go and inspect the condition and make sure it pumps up to the specified level before I commit to parting with quite a bit of my hard earned money. I'm looking for something of a "fixer-upper", not one I have to completely overhaul, and this one looked promising.
Anyway, from what I've read on here and elsewhere, and judging on the visual condition that could be seen in the photos, I figured it should be worth in the neighborhood of $1000. I bid a grand on it and waited to see where it went. Man, was I surprised when the final price went past $2100!
Here is the link for it. Let me know if I was way off in my estimation of it's value. I'm pretty sure that the price it went for was way out of proportion, but is it somewhere in between, like say $1400 or $1500? I'm just curious and want to be better able to determine value in a compressor before I buy one.
Thanks...DS
