Hi

Have a Futura that I may be selling. Any idea what I should be asking for one 3 years old but only 1 year use? V Good condition.

Many thanks

That'll be why you had 120 in the title, DOH!

Lion have them new, on special, for £890 so...I'd have thought somewhere around the £750 mark?

They are probably on special offer because they trying to stimulate some extra sales in a slow market. Nobody discounts anything very much in a sellers market. So it might take an even lower price than suggested to shift a secondhand one in a slow market, if it's hard to sell new ones.

Thats very steep as theres an ultimat on ebay now with futura upgrade and a whole host of accessories including new head cutter and fletcher point gun etc for £500 and it really isnt selling. At the £750 mark you may as well just put the extra towards the new futura flexo.

I wont say how much you should sell your stuff for but i do believe the prices suggested would not be attractive to anyone currently in the market for a used cutter.
