Rear Blade Fair price for a woods RB84?

GaryS · Mar 4, 2010

I have a no-name rear blade that needs a bit of work after pushing so much snow this winter. My dealer said he'd take it on a trade but he's not yet mentioned how much he'll give me. He still sells the same no-name brand of blades and will sell me one of those for $400. A Woods RB84 he priced at $650.

I've attached a photo of the damage to my existing rear blade. It coule be pounded out but the real solution would be to cut of the angle irons & weld on new ones. I don't weld so I'd need to pay someone in to come out & do the work. I think that by the time I buy materials & pay someone to come up to fix this, I'd have paid for a new one.

So, two questions:
1. What's a fair price for an RB84? Is $650 about right?
2. What would be a fair trade value for my blade?

bump.

Anyone know a fair price for a Woods RB84?

My guess is that the $650 figure is a fair price for the Woods. I have seen that same Woods blade on Craigslist in very good shape with some rust for $350 though. I would say that maybe with your trade in, you will be paying $500.

Good luck

That price for a Woods is probably about right. I priced a new Land Pride RBT1572 blade at $750 today, and I'm selling my lightly used one for $600, if that helps you any.
