There have been a lot of sub-compacts listed on Ebay, but few of them are meeting the reserve, a lot seem to be reaching the $7-9K range but struggle to get above $10K, consequently, it seems to me that few sales are completed. That being said, the snow-blower does add some decent value. I think with the low hours, and if the unit is very clean, that $9500 would be a hard to beat price, but, I suspect the seller is not going to be happy. If I were to meet in the middle at $10,250, I would want the unit to be cherry, no sun fade, no beginnings of rust, and most or all of the paint left on the bucket. The SCUT's are desirable, but sometimes like buying a used Honda. You get close enough to new price that there is little incentive to buy used,especially at 0% interest.
However, with the blower, a new 1026R would be approaching if not exceeding $20K. At pricing near $10K, I would be pretty interested myself, so take that into account.
