What is a used E-Blazer worth?

himurax13 · 06-16-2008, 04:52 PM

How much does a new one go for? How much does a used one go for? I just purchased this thing recently and to say that it has given me a headache is quite the understatement. I am no tinkerer except in the areas of fine tuning and trigger jobs. My finances at the moment do not allow me the luxury of sending it to Palmer's to get it to work to my satisfaction. I was planning on selling it for around $825 and then let the new owner have the fun of tinkering around with it. What do you guys think, is that too high, too low? How long would it take for me to sell? Or should I start a "This is not for sale" thread?

$50 max. I'll do you a favor and highball it at $75. Paypal ready.

(J/K... no idea, as they really don't like making them, so they are custom built for a serious premium now)

Free up. Good luck with the sale. And if you don't get offers, my $75 will stand.

I'll offer $100 max. I'm guessing between $725-$800 since it's not working correctly.

If you have one built now it would probably be around 1500. However, a used one with issues will be under 1000. I almost bought that one before you but I decided I would rather make payments all summer to have my own built for me with some extra stuff.

At the very least you should get what you paid for it.

That particular EBZ has been selling cheap the last couple times in my opinion. All it really needs is the old valve and hammer etc. put back in and I bet it works perfectly.....

In my personal opinion....I don't think it should go for much under $1000...working or not. That think has to be real close to working.... If it sells for too low of a price it devalues mine!!! Kidding, but I hate to see the EBZ's not making you happy. Don't put in the MQ and they work fine...

Does that one have the MQ valve in it? If so I'd remove it. I'v heard they're extremely finicky.

You've heard wrong.

OP: What's wrong with it?

The MQ Valve.

So basically I will have to buy a new valve, cup seal, valve spring, hammer spring, hammer, sear, and a solenoid to trip the sear? That sounds absolutely ridiculous to basically turn this whole setup into a sear tripping electro. Its not that it doesn't work, it just doesn't shoot very fast. After a certain point, the shots just skip.

Sounds like a board problem, did you try a new board/battery in the E frame? If the MQ doesnt get enough voltage then it gets weird.

post a message to Craig, see what he thinks. Or check with Sgt-Spam. I believe his is MQ'd. Not sure what board is in his grip?
