I have seen nearly new take outs go in the $2000 range not like old shovels and even evos. If you can get $3500 you are in the wrong line of work because you could be selling snow to eskimos.

Well then looks I'll be putting it back in the bike when it's time for a new one!

I recently saw a perfect condition "A" 96" at a swap meet with less miles than yours for $1875 obo. Don't know if it sold or not but if you can get $3500 out of yours, I'd like for you to sell mine too. I'd like to get a 120R but I can't justify it when a fresh 96" is only bringing pennies on the dollar.
