Welcome to the Office of Steam Forum for Model & Toy Steam Gas & Hot Air Engines - Enjoy!
Well, I have sold three of these in the last two years. Two were brand new in the box. The third fired one time. I sold both of the new ones over $2000. One shipping to Europe. The cheapest used one $1800. A lot of ads show $2600 plus. You really have to talk with the buyer and see what they are comfortable paying. I have seen auction ones go for under $800.These are much more popular outside the USA and rarer to find. If your selling one I tend to start at what you would take for it and go from there. Sometimes I see pretty cheap, I have given some away for free and other times I would only accept top dollar. Find what you and the buyer are comfortable with and go from there. $1000 from a private seller is on the low end. $2500 is topping out. Mint condition will bring the higher prices for the collectors. Someone who plans to use it will not pay that much. Cheers. Jack

I paid $2K for my 16051 unused in the box pristine condition.
Looking up more price results, found two carousels that only brought $160 each! Most of those are showing $400-500, but shipping is easily over $100…
