Location matters a little. That would be helpful. And was it stored outside or garage kept? Seat torn up? Is the FEL bucket well worn or was it a trailer queen that hauled 13 yards of mulch? Any other attachments?
I'll throw $9,000 out there for discussion without knowing much about the machine. $8,500 would be a fire-sale price, I would think. Much over $11,000 and you're in the territory of just paying for a new tractor. Expect it to hold its value, though. Doesn't matter that it is now 2 generations old (BX2200 to BX2230 to BX2350)...it didn't change much until the 2350 came out.
It has the FEL and the largest available mower, which is very desireable.
200-300 hours is nothing...I'm at 185 hours now and I still consider mine brand new.
Hope that gets things started.

Maine is usually on the higher side of prices, generally speaking. This is a gross generalization based on the general trends when prices are called out on various tractors.
So it sounds like it was actually used. That's OK. If it was cared for, that shouldn't matter one bit.
I'd look at the little white transmission cooling fan underneath. If all the blades are busted on it and the owner didn't replace it, then I'd use that as an indication of just HOW it was used and how much the owner worried about fixing it.
You can get a simliar indication by the boots on the steering knuckles.
I'm not a fan of storing these things outside. Folks say that it isn't any different than a car, but a car doesn't have all the exposed hoses, exposed seat, and other things that these tractors have. I know farmers have been storing their machines outside as long as there have been farms and tractors, but those were the days before cushined seats, fuel injection, and computers.
Doesn't make it a bad buy, but I'd take it down a notch for it being outside in the cold and snow for years.
Other opinons will roll in. Just wanted to get some facts to help others out.

A few months ago, before finally deciding to buy a Woods backhoe for my BX2200, I had some long discussions with my local dealer about what he would take for my BX2200 if trading up to a B3030, and what I could sell it for myself if I advertised on Craig's List. Everything Keith said above matches very closely with the things my dealer said.
