I must admit that being in the UK, I'm not a prospective customer, but I can't help being a bit baffled by the price, considering what these sell for. You didn't intend to say $140 but left out a figure?

Nope. Not looking to get rich. Only looking to get $40. Well worth the price to be honest. A very good running machine. And clean. I will probably have a picture up soon.
It's not for me to second guess anyone's pricing and I would never do it in a negative fashion but, I agree with Adrian - this is a remarkable price for such a machine.

I know. Most interest is coming from the UK and suspect they are afraid of shipping fees...I do need to sell as i could use the money!

If you offer it on the 16mm Forum I expect it will go very fast. But I honestly think people can be put off by a low price, because if it's far below the usual market value, people might wonder why, even if you have made it clear that the projector works fine.

I can't claim to be an expert because I hadn't come across this model until you offered it here (they never seem to appear in the UK) but I found one sold on eBay recently and it went for something like $140 dollars. I'm wondering about the marks on the front casing as they would reduce the value somewhat as they damage the cosmetic appearance - or are they label residue that could be carefully cleaned off? If they could be removed, I'd try offering for around $140, considering you have spare lamps. Even if the marks are permanent, I'd still try a price of around $100. If it doesn't sell, you can always lower the price until it does.

Its an old sticker. Can be removed. OK I will take your advice and try listing on the 16mm forum. Thanks for your help!
