Used prices can vary so much, especially since it depends on age and condition. You also may need to clarify the subject a little more beyond "2nd hand price information", especially since there is a specific piece of equipment you are looking for.  |  IP: Logged Rene Ferron Film Handler Posts: 52 From: New Brunswick, Canada Registered: Feb 2008 posted 06-23-2008 06:27 PM                     I just did.. thx for the tip.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 06-23-2008 06:36 PM                        Buy Christie stuff instead. Seriously. Not joking. You won't regret it. You don't want Strong unless you are trying to replace one unit in a booth full of Strongs.  |  IP: Logged Rene Ferron Film Handler Posts: 52 From: New Brunswick, Canada Registered: Feb 2008 posted 06-23-2008 07:18 PM                     quote: Joe Redifer Buy Christie stuff instead. Seriously. Not joking. You won't regret it. You don't want Strong unless you are trying to replace one unit in a booth full of Strongs. It's just that we have 3 Strong Platter and they are working fine. We want to buy another Strong Platter and MUT, so i need to know what kind of offer i can make to the guy that owns those two parts. We have also a MUT but i would like to have one as a backup. I will be using that 4th Platter to mount movies and movie storage. I was thinking 1500$ for the AP3 and MUT. They are in good working condition.  |  IP: Logged Louis Bornwasser Film God Posts: 4441 From: prospect ky usa Registered: Mar 2005 posted 06-23-2008 08:14 PM                        Too low if they are in good condition; too high if junk.

With the abundance of digital replacing film, shouldn't there be a surplus of used parts?

They simply stack the stuff away because to sell it the entire price is considered profit. If there is still some value not depreciated, the best way to deal with that equipment is to donate it to a non-profit and take the write-off against the profit for the year. In case there is no profit, then it goes in storage until totally depreciated. KEN  |  IP: Logged Steve Greeno Film Handler Posts: 15 From: Frankfort, In. USA Registered: May 2008 posted 06-23-2008 10:40 PM                     There is a Christie platter system on ebay now with MUT for sale at a good buy it now price. Just do a search on there for "Christie Autowind 3 Platter System with MUT" and you will find it.  |  IP: Logged Louis Bornwasser Film God Posts: 4441 From: prospect ky usa Registered: Mar 2005 posted 06-24-2008 06:15 AM                        Different deal: as is where is, no guarantees. It is pointless to buy something for professional use that is inappropriate or broken.
