Dadant 30 frame extractor....a price...
«

I came across a guy that has a 12 X 14 room completely full 8" high with assembled and unassembled brood boxes - supers - frames - anything and everything...etc.. He says there's about 600 brood boxes alone in there. I believe it. You can only look in the room from the door ---- the room is full to within 1' of the door to the room. He said there's 80 cases of Queenline jars in there somewhere - I saw and bought 15 cases.
This guy isn't a beekeeper, he just bought the stuff from an older commercial beekeeper a couple years ago. The commercial beekeeper was retiring - now this guy has all this stuff and the wife says " get rid of it ".
He also has a Dadant 30 frame extractor -( 2 large ) holding tanks - 2 uncapping tables 4' each. All this stuff for a big operation.
I'm going to make an offer for all the stuff as is. He said he'd take $600 for the extractor but for me to make an offer - - there's nothing wrong with it - we ran it. Any ideas what an extractor like that is worth ...?
Thanks....Steve in SC

Since you've seen and ran the extractor I would recommend that you price similar equipment at Mann Lake Ltd, Dudant & Sons, Bushy Mountain, Bettterbee, etc. Make a comparrision and make an offer from there.

if its a stainless steel extractor, a dandant 20 frames sales for almost $1400 so $600 isnt a bad price for a 30 frame extractor, if you buy all the wood stuff and dont need it give me a shout and I might take it off your hands or if you dont get it give me his number and Ill call him...

Brian: No one really lists an extractor that large that I can find that has the price listed. I guess I can call one of the suppliers and ask the price. I'll call Dadant in the morning.
Guyone: there aren't any uncappers that I saw.
There are uncapping tables there with holding tanks. The guy called me today and said he was taking it all out of the room so I could actually see what he had. No price was mentioned on his part. He wants me to offer a price before he says what he'll take for it. I was told once when you have someone that won't put a price on something, never offer a price for something unless it makes you feel quilty to offer that little for it. I plan on feeling guilty - we'll se how it goes in a day or two.
TwT: It's an all stainless extractor. I'll be in touch one way or the other after I go over there in a day one two....he said he'll call me when it's all out in the open. His wife said " get rid of it "... We'll see. It'll be a Deal or no deal...?
