    if you can sell it in parts you will more than likely make more money,only problem is that you might be stuck with some parts.also try the buy and sell you will get more for it [that if your selling at one lot]

    Hijack away, i'm just trying to get a sense of the value of 2nd hand machines.

    By the way €300 for mine? ya must be feckin mad, and if your not then where could ya get another one for that price :) cos i know someone who'd defo be interested. Nah i were half thinking of selling mine but 500 be the min.

    Nope not selling it seperate. I was just thinking of selling it and then using that money + a little more to get a whole new one. Besides ya'd prob be stuck with one or two bits ya don't want and can't sell.
