Whats a good price for Tippmann Boss new in box from a private seller

[Mikeny]

Hi everyone,

I was just offered the base Tippmann Boss for $500. The person is a friend of my cousin and when I went to look at it was still sealed in the shipping box with the mailing label. I was the first person to open it up, set up and test. It works perfectly. She wanted $800 and went down to $500. 

I’m not sure if it’s a good price or not. From Tippmann it $1,000 plus shipping and tax it comes about $1100.

Is $500 a good price, whats the typical selling price when they’re used.

Any advice or info is appreciated.

Thank You

Mike

I have one that is 20 years old . . . have no idea how many things I made on it . . . paid the 1K for it when I got it.

I would consider it a stingy insult from you if you offered me 500 for it.

I would probably take 800 . . . but there would be extenuating circumstances for otherwise.

May God bless,

Dwight

The only way I see that being a bad deal is if you didn’t have the $500.

If the machine is what you want / need then getting an unopened boxed machine for that price is an excellent price. I would buy it anyway as if it doesn't meet your needs then you could always sell for that price or more.

Thank you everyone. I bought it and am very happy its already saved me so much time punching and sewing. 
Dwight i did not mean to insult anyone. I did not negotiate or make an offer, the seller negotiated against herself,  she said she wanted $800 but would take $500. I gave her the $500 as she wanted.

Sounds like you just "made" $500 bucks.  right place at the right time.
