Any idear what this Mich Wheel prop is worth?

Let's say a feller managed to acquire himself, for pretty much nuthin', this Michigan Wheel bronze propeller in what appears to be overall excellent condition. Let's also say this feller has no use for it whatsoever, being that it's way too much prop for an Atomic 4 (we're assuming here that's what this mythical feller has) and clearly meant for a larger boat than this feller has himself. Let's also say that this feller, being a feelthy capitalist pig, seeks solely to maximize the potential $$$ profit to be had by selling such item. Any idears what this thing might be worth and where's the best place for this hypothetical feller to offer it up for sale?

Hi Bill - Deep Blue appears to have something similar on sale for $666.95. You need an even feelthier capitalist pig with a Hinckley or something. Cheers, Hanley

Yeah, I did take a look-see at what new ones were going for. This one appears to have been very slightly used. I'm thinking that since it's not brand-spankin' new and certified to be dynamically balanced, yadda yadda, it's going to fetch something less than new retail. Just trying to get a handle on whether it's $200, $400, or something else...

I'm likely going to toss it up on eBay and just see what happens. I don't like eBay too much anymore. Back in the 1990s and early 2000's I sold a whole mess of stuff on eBay. But then they made a whole lot of changes over the past 10 years that make it much less favorable to the seller. And a lot of buyers are just a royal pain to deal with. So I haven't sold anything there in a long time. Mebbe I'll give it a go with this...

Broker?

Bill,
I once had a "high end" prop that I didn't need so I placed it on consignment with my local prop shop. He took a small fee but was able to sell it for more than I ever could have, and everybody was happy.

Unfortunately, there are no "local prop shops" that I know of around here. I suppose I could cart it up to Deltaville, 90 miles away and see if I could find a place that would sell it, but that's a bit of a pain.

In any event, I've put it up on eBay just to see what happens.

Try Craig's List. You do all the work, but there's no fee.
