Value is dependant upon demand. When I got mine from GL, I paid $200-250 each. If they are tested and good running, value would definitely be more.

Dave,

$350.00 each is not a bad deal...but like you said, you'll probably be sitting on the unwanted ones for a while. Even if you are like me, and sold them for what you had in them, you would still sit on them for a while. The demand just doesn't seem to be there.

Thats a steal! You might not sell motors whole, but you could make a killing off them(IPs, starters, injectors, 24v charging coils, etc). I wish I had the money to get them.

I also think $350 is a great deal. If it were closer I'd be interested. If you buy them all and we can figure out a economical way to get them to me, I'd take the ones you don't want off your hands.

Like Gimpy said, parts are going to get harder to come by because Onan doesn't supply them anymore.

Like the others have said, you can easily make your money back parting them out, injection pump alone will likely bring the purchase price assuming its in running condition.

Are those reconditioned?

If so, they are worth more then that. I would buy them all up if not
T for the hassle and expense of shipping, but even at that a buyer can make a profit if initial shipping is minimal, meaning, it is a local purchase.
I would sell those for $500 each plus shipping and not have any trouble at all moving them, if reconditioned.
Not sure about "used with uncertainty about operating condition
" status's.

Advertising group buy possibilities are welcome threads as best as I can tell. I have seen and bought in several green components on this site with people doing that and it serves the public well. You should let everyone know your asking price on a group buy and whether or not you would be able to pick up and ship for members.

I've been sitting on a pile of starters off rebuilds for 2 years. Not so easy to move as you might think.
