If the money is the only thing that matters (and to be honest, you do have to bear it in mind with extra to be spent) it isn't worth the 38k. If the roller had some significant interest and provenience, ie local engine to the purchaser, it might be worth more to someone personally.

Interestingly a reasonably local person to me valued my roller at 30k, I didn't ask for the valuation, it was just given (some time ago admittedly) but said person has a 1/2 size engine up for sale at 95k which is a bit poorly at the moment (i'm led to understand)

These valuations make no sense to me at all

Good luck in your search, and my advice.....be patient.......the right one at the right price will come along some day

In his dreams! Perhaps he normally values livestock ?

Cheers Carl.

Carl, I don't know but prices seem to be all over the place these days for all types of Engines. I'm just glad i'm not in the market to sell or buy!
