I saw a few there...what is normal price for them? I plan on using it actively in my shop so prefer pristine condition.

Dave,
You need to check Ebay again, unrestored wall mounts are selling for around $1000.00 and unrestored pedestal units are selling for around $1300+.

I quit buying them, I can't do what I do to them and make any money.

Was thinking it should at least bring $2800? Is that too far out of line?

Pictured is an ECO Islander, the prices we were discussing above are for the ECO 97 & 98.

As for "what are these things going for" depends on, do they work; quality of restoration; are they complete, the shipping cost, etc.

I have a set price on the ones I sell because I stand behind the units I sell.

What if someone says "It was working when we took it off the wall, but we never checked it"? What are you going to do if it doesn't work? Everyone wants the air meters to work. I even have a 1926 meter that works.
