Heizohack prices

[renewablejohn]

Is there a market for used biomass chippers or do the dealers have a cartel on used machines.  I realise the market is limited but the dealers do seem to quote crazy prices for machines which have obviously just had a quick respray to tart them up.

As in??   Cant remmember the price of the one we had , think abt 60 grand ? 2012.  K

Thinking the smaller end of the market like the Heizohack 6-300 which dealers are quoting at 20-30k. Would have thought compared to that a low houred machine at 15k would have been an easy sale.

Given that most of them were bought with 50% grants, perhaps there are conditions attached relating to the disposal of the asset? One would like to think so anyhow.

I think they retain a fairly high residual value, after owning my old machine for 2 years the dealer gave me 4k less than i paid for it originally

( think he will have relied upon the horrifically poor admin of the grant scheme ?)

Only reason why I am trying to sell mine is due to early retirement as wife has just had cancer op so priorities have now changed.
