Buddy is selling his brew gear. Looking for feedack on price

Here's the link, he is in HB.

The price seems reasonable to me but it has been many years since I've bought a start-from-scratch setup.

I doubt he'll get $400... Effectively all the plastic parts are generally seen as consumable, and may need replacement. He's basically selling a kettle, stir plate, flask, refractometer, and wort chiller. Some of the rest of what he's selling might be usable again, others might not be...

That said, craigslist is known for haggling...

I think $250-300 is probably a more realistic OTD price. Starting at $400 might be a bit steep as I'm not sure people will necessarily even call him to negotiate... I'd figure about $350 list, with the goal to be able to negotiate a price as close to the $300 mark as he can get.
