Hi Allan I usually look at the Good Old Trace stuff as 2/3 of the old new price. I have so many folks using the Trace SW that they bought in the mid 1990s and still going strong the price has remained steady all these years later. Tom Duffy Senior Solar Design Engineer Flexport CEO Ryan Peterse

Hi Drake Just like with Allan’s remote, I couldn’t find any used ones on line to even give an idea of cost comparison. I must be doing my searches wrong. A new inverter is about $1700, a replacement board is $350. So if you got $500 for it, + the $350 puts you at $850 or about 1/2 price for a 1

Another legacy item I would like to find a value for is a 15 year old VFX 3524 off grid inverter. The AC voltage fluctuates a bit, so maybe it could use another control board. The cover plate (valve cover) is missing. Otherwise it works. I did an upgrade on a system and offered to buy the old

All else fails, I just would go back to the Trace retail, give it a 10% for being used, and call it good.   $165?    no one will complain about that On 12/10/2021 6:42 PM, Jerry Shafer wrote: Truely it depends, if someone is looking and needing that part, the sky is the limit, its its just

Yikes, that's a tough one. Was it an old one on a dusty shelf? was it given to you or pulled off an old system, or Ebay?  I have no idea what they originally cost.  Christmas is coming. Bill Feather River Solar Electric Bill Battagin, Owner 4291 Nelson St. Taylorsville, CA 95983 530.284.78
