I have a set of PST 130's with Highland bands and Halcyon valves and manifold. I bought them new in the Summer 2004. They have not been hydro'd. I started sidemount 2 years ago and haven't used them since. I held on to them thinking I'd use them, but I haven't. Thanks.
I haven't seen very many tanks sell that are not in current hydro. It's too much hassle to buy them and then get that done first thing. Once that's done, I see doubles sell for anywhere between $400 and $600 depending on condition. YMMV.
There are others here that are more knowledgeable than I, though.
Well, I don't know what the actual fair value is, but i'm guessing around $250. With that said, I'll give you $250 for them.
The other problem I see with trying to sell them out of hydro, is whatif they were not to pass? Then there is a waist of money and a unhappy buyer.
I say get them hydrod and then they should be worth about $600.00 plus shipping. A set of 95's normally go for closer to $400 or $450.
I have seen many sets of used 130's for the 600 mark and know of many that have failed hydro so better get that done first.
Maybe sell $250.00 for each tank then cost of manifold, then bands so $600.00

Well, hydro + o2 clean + assymbly/disassybly + VIS will run about $250ish for a set of doubles at one shop I frequent, so take Slim's 600-250 = $350 ish, and then there is always the "what if they fail?"
with that being said,
you should just give them away and not worry about if they fail hydro and I would be more than happy to take them off your hands if you want. :rollguy

Larry, get them hydro'd and start at $650. Leverage the N Florida pony express to get them anywhere from the Panhandle, High Springs, Athens, S. Florida or maybe even NC.
More and more its harder to get a good fill..., so 130's are having value over 104's if you live outside of cave country.
And send the "hydro + o2 clean + assymbly/disassybly + VIS will run about $250ish for a set of doubles at one shop I frequent" back over to ScubaBoard... We're a little more self sufficient around here, and opt againts the a$$ raping...
I never said I would pay that much for that, I have just seen places charge all that.Quote:

I learned that in "Price Gouging for Dummies"
FWIW I just sold a set of PST E 119s banded with a manifold that had 4 years left til hydro for $450 + shippping. I started at $600 but eventually dropped to $450 + shipping after nobody would bite. I would definitely get them hydro'd first though.
If your profile is correct and you are in Houston. I am good for $400 if you get them hydro'd or maybe $300 if I check them out and have get them hydro'd myself.
I really don't need a set of 130s but I know a few guys that like them for spearfishing and I can break the set down and use them on the boat.
2 E8-130s retail $800Quote:

Used gear generally sells for half of retail. I see stuff like this go in the neighborhood of $600-650 all the time.
Well, he asked. :smt102
I sidemount Worthington 130's. Just break 'em down and use 'em!
I am just asking cause I don't know alot of people around Houston diving HP 130s singles or double.Quote:

Agreed... Hydro is $25/tank @ Hydrostat. $600-650 is the normal maket. Might be depressed lately, I wouldn't expect $450 tho unless 10-15+ yrs old.Quote:

Like Raphael said, $250-$270 for all that is definitely a rape... and since the tanks were all in their first (130's) or second (104's) hydro, they were practically brand new. Why throw money away?

PS I sold the lot because I went to a CCR, I still have two sets of E8-130's for use as portable banks (with a booster)....
just got a pair of 104's w/new hydro/1st rehydro $400
would be happy to sell some ex-8 119's for $500 w/current hydro
so if some one sold tanks for $700 IN 2009,,,
good for them and send those buyers my way,,,,
Nope, it was last year, not that it makes a difference....they got sold anyway.Quote:

If you get them hydro'ed and look to sell them, I'd be interested in taking them off your hands. I'm in Houston so shipping costs could be avoided. Let me know how much you want for them

Me ? I didn't say anything... must be another Raphael on CDF ..... ;) anyhow I would have said the same...Quote:
