Answer If you are planning to sell it I would try to find a used machinery dealer to come out and give you a quote to purchase it from you. Try 2 or 3 different dealers and go with the best offer. You don't have to commit to selling it if you don't want to.
I am in the Boston area and have dealt with www.brothersmachinery.com
