I've been offered a used NYC Legacy powered Sharknose B unit from a friend, and he said to make an offer... "what ever you want to pay me". I hated those words as soon as he said them!
Whats a fair offer?
PLEASE HELP!
Thanks,
Mario

HI Mario. Considering you can often find a new (w/Lionel warranty) Legacy diesel for around $300 as recently offered by Trainworld's 'blowouts' on U boats, something less than $250 would be decent.

Yes, Sam! you're right... NIB from some sites for the same unit are $299.99, plus shipping, so i agree with you... somewhere south of $250 is going to be my offer... just can't think of how far south.
Thanks,
Mario.
I would offer $210, you can always go up but you can never go down once you made your offer.
I think David is onto it, make a reasonable but not high offer. He can always bump you up, but you'll never go down. Truthfully, I doubt I'd pay more than $200 for that unit, given that it won't have a warranty and is used.
Do you think that a non-powered B unit + $100 would be fair?
Did the sharks run in AB pairs like FTs?

That sounds very fair to me, the unpowered unit is worth at least half of the powered unit I would think.
Offered him the dummy B and $100, and they agreed it was a fair offer, but he's saving up for a new Mohawk.
So, in the end, it was $210.
Happy day!

Well, now you can have an A-B-B-A configuration.
