[TheForge] Hossfeld values, (was: Hossfeld vs Diacro)

Sat Oct 5 10:18:00 2002

Speaking of buying a Hossfeld, what would be considered a fair price for a
Hossfeld with several sets of dies that was used very little?  A friend of mine
has one he wants to sell.  I don't want it but would like to help him sell it.
Any comments on value I would appreciate.

Thanks,

Larry
