Wanting to trade a 250EX for a Powertig 185DV.

Hmmm . . . I thought I had posted some back when I first joined the forum just prior to my initial purchase of the 250EX, which as you can see was in 2011. Thanks for the welcome.

If I were to sell it, I'd like to get $900 plus the cost of shipping. Basically, the price of a 185DV. If that is too much to ask, that's fine, but I am basically not wanting to come out of pocket too much to end up with a TIG box I can use more frequently; the 185DV being the perfect basic box for my needs. I really do love the simple adjustability of the 250EX for fine tuning the AC arc for the fix-it work I do, but, again, it isn't really necessary and right now I value doing more versus having to wait to get things stuck together.

I think you'd probably get more than that out of it. But I'd put it at 1300 or better. You could then get the 200DV. This would give you extra power, and also give you the pulse and stuff. Prices do seem to hold on these units pretty well, so I'd look into listing it on Ebay. Start the bidding 500.00 and put your reserve at 900, then see what you can get.

I didn't know they help their value that well. The thing is I'd rather have a simpler machine I can use more often. I figured this kind of deal might appeal to someone more than just trying to sell it, as I generally prefer to barter.

Thanks for the helpful information!

They do. Many cases of units reaching high values on Ebay and locally. The 200DV is a simpler unit but offers dual voltage and better duty cycle.

That is certainly encouraging.

I really like the 200DX. I'll get my box up on ebay and see how it does. If it does pull in most of $1k, I'd gladly drop the bit extra for the 200DX.
