Need Advice Selling 60x60 AVID CNC

[Kirsti K]

Hi All,
The response to our needing to sell our shop machines has been great and many of the machines have gone to great new homes!
I only have one big machine left to post and I definitely left the biggest for last and I could use some advice on this one!
I have an AVID 6060 CNC it is currently mostly disassemble and on casters from when we moved it from North Raleigh to Cameron.
Do you think most buyers would want me to take the time to reassemble it or to leave it disassembled for ease in transporting it?
I have pics and video of it working when it was all set up, trammed and calibrated and pics of it in it's current state.
Any advice is appreciated!

I am not in the market for on Kirsti, but I would definitely be reluctant to buy a partially assembled tool - too risky. Can't verify operation that way, or even verify that it is 'complete'.
For a tool that costs 'some dollars' I would advise getting it into an operational state. Takes some investment in time etc, but I would expect that you would not be able to sell it for whatever it is actually worth in a disassembled state.
My 2 Cents at least.

Thanks Henry! I really appreciate your 2 cents!
I suspect that that is the way most would feel about it.
Thankfully we labeled EVERYTHING and took lots of pics and videos to get it back together again!

agree with Henry, unassembled I'd take his 2 cents and buy it, assembled and verified running will bring in a lot more money for it.

Their assembly and operating manuals are also online, which will be helpful for anyone who buys it from you. I haven't needed it in a couple years, but they had great customer service when I needed help. I have the 4848.

Very true! And we won't be starting from complete scratch!
You are right Avid has had great customer service and has answered any questions we have had in the past.
