Hi Michael, and welcome to the G.
Including some photos of the machine that show general condition is a good thing to do.
There is also a resource that will provide the year of manufacture from the Serial Number.
Also consider if you would be willing to manage crating and shipping or if a local pick up is preferred.
Best of luck!

Welcome to the G
Including asking price would help as well.

Funny, though - most listings on AIM do not have prices. You have to give them your info and then you get a call.
For anyone who is interested, all it takes is a phone call to get the price and answers to other questions.

OK, so I'm not crazy.
I thought that AIM used to have prices listed on their website.
Not sure how long ago I noticed that was no longer the case.
I only use it to reference approximate value when I see used equipment listed other places and want to see how it compares to a known and reliable evaluator of used equipment.
So, if every potential buyer was doing what I was, to "shop around" I can see how they would not want to give away their expertise for free.
Having to contact them directly gives them a better chance to eliminate the "tire kickers" like me.
Only people who are serious about purchasing will take the small extra step of contacting them directly for information.

Last year when I was in the market for a new U-400, I looked at AIM, among others. I ended up buying from another source as their price was a few hundred dollars higher but the price was listed. As pricing for new equipment is very competitive and available from multiple sources, I can't imagine why they are doing this. Even for something like a relatively cheap point driver you have to call. Well not me. I will swipe left. I may be wrong but to me it drives people away. Something just seems wonky.

I can see this point of view as well.
The easiest way to know why they changed their methods would be to....call and ask (or email).
I have used AIM a number of times over the years.
I have known and done business with Steve Adams for over 15 years.

I worked for a very high end design and framing company in Scottsdale for 15 years until 2008 when the owner decided to retire and just close at the end of the lease and sell off the equipment.
She didn't need the income, the business was like a hobby for her...
We framed for sports people, movie people, hospitals, restaurants, law offices etc. I met some very interesting customers.
When we closed our shop, AIM, formerly skyline pictures, helped us to sell off the equipment.
The buyers came from Utah and New Mexico and drove trucks to Arizona to pick up the equipment.
We (I) didn't have to crate anything. It was just picked up, blanket wrapped and was taken away.
I had also set up a shop at home in case I needed some additional side income but I didn't need it so AIM helped me to sell some of my stuff.
I've been framing for 55 years now in Chicago, Denver and now Phoenix for the last 36 years. (still framing
)
AIM is also helpful with tech info and parts for equipment.
I'm not sure why having to call is such an issue.
I prefer to call to actually speak to a person when I do some business and exchange info directly.
Paying a few hundred dollars more for equipment from another person to not make a phone call....

I agree with this.
Bottom line is that I would not hesitate to use AIM as a resource.

So much for AIM not showing prices, or so it seems. I just go an email from them with the items below shown in the email with PRICES. When you click on the links, some of them show prices on the AIM site, some don't and ask that you contact them for pricing even though the price is shown in the email. Confusing.
