    Help with pricing a BCS 850 with attachments

    Hi Folks. I've been speaking with a guy in New Hampshire about buying his BCS 850. We are working on coming to terms on a price and I was wondering if I could get some input on what's fair. It was used in a residential location only. BCS 850 Sweeper (don't know size yet) Snow thrower 28"...
