Thinking of Selling the Sankey

So I've now had my Sankey Wide Track in dry storage for 6 years, I removed the tub and had RLD extend the draw bar....Wheel adapters fitted and D3 wheels put on and stripped the knackered electrics out ready to rewire it all to a modern standard, rather than the somewhat archaic military electrics. But that's where the project has stalled for 6 years.....I've put what boils down to a whole load of money into making the base project, but never found the time to progress past there....question is of course, what do people think it's worth and should I sell up? Big Cry

It was a joke - thought that would be obvious!

I have sourced one already...

These are notoriously hard to value as condition is everything. To the right buyer it is priceless.

It won't be worth anywhere near what you have invested in all liklihood. If you don't need the money or the space.. Keep it.

There are pretty much complete projects on ebay for £2000ish at the moment (two of them).

There may be others more knowledgeable than me who would value it differently but I would say based on what you have done (basically, done the heavy lifting on a project) it would seem fair at around £1,200-1500 and if I had not acquired one recently I would consider yours would be worth that to me - in embuggerance saving terms alone.

Very best of luck selling it sir! Thumbs Up

Your youtube username "amondeggs" infers we may have the same surname - as that was a nickname of mine at school;)
