The lift is local. or semi local its about an hour away from us. I just wanted to know ahead of time what something like that would go for. Thanks again for the info.

Why not just buy one from a local dealer. If we all started trusting and buying from local business people then my guess is that the economy would start improving-at least locally anyway. Believe me, we don't spend each waking hour figuring out how we are going to scam their next victim. That is what the internet is for. Sadly a lot of people are putting their faith into a faceless person on the internet and *** up everything they are told with a spoon. And why-for one reason only- a cheap price. Sounds like the perfect recipe to allow yourself to get ripped off to me. If I weren't familiar with a product that I was buying, a forklift truck would be that last thing that I would buy over the internet.

No there is not a publication or internet site taht provide resale price on lift trucks lift Kelly Blue book does for cars/trucks. Ther is a service called Lift Truck Guru that has some information on used trucks but you have pay for the service and primarily deal withe truck that are 10 years old or newer.

Duodeluxe was very generous in what he said he woudl pay for a '66 Clark most folks would offer teh current scrap yard price on the unit.

You have all of the information. It is a model C80 and was sold in Spetember of 1966. It has lost all of the value it is ever going to lose. I wouldn't pay more than $1000 for it.

Fact of the week
A 1904 lecture by scientist Elie Metchnikoff extolled the benefits of consuming yoghurt for halting the "intestinal putrefaction" which he believed causes aging. The press reported yoghurt as a cure for aging and the ensuing popularity is still with us today.
