What is this generator worth?

[Howdy]

Just happen to see this for sale online and decided to pick it up. Just wondering if I got a good deal on it.
It's TG5750 ( sold at Menards 3 years ago ). When we looked at it the seller said he had 15 other emails stating they wanted it, but the seller was a GREAT seller and Honored his appointment with me ( I was the first person to contact him ). Yes, I bought it.


The description:


We bought this refurbished 5700 Watt Generator a couple of years ago and never used it.
When we did try to start it this year it would not start. It appears there is no charge going to the spark plug.
We are willing to sell it as it is for XXXXXX to a handyman.

FYI, I got it home and found it had awesome spark. Started 2nd pull with starting fluid. Drained the old gas and put fresh gas in and it starts right up and runs nicely.

What's one of these worth?

They sold for about $550 new, its a decent gen, or chingen as we like to call them here. Last year after a tornado about wiped us out these things were rattling everywhere for a few days and the local stores sold out of them.

If you plan on keep it, treat the fuel with some Stabil and run it for about 15 mins every month to keep it in shape. I have a Coleman 6500w that i put full synthetic oil in and keep the fuel fresh by draining the tank in the spring and the fall, along with monthly runs to burn out any moisture and keep the gen head in good order. A couple used junkyard baseboard heaters work great for a test load, but i can also switch the house to it as well.

I think I got a good deal. I have no intentions of selling it. Here is a screen shot of the ad:

Not knowing what you paid for it, but i assume cheap since it was non-running when you bought it, i bet you got a good deal! Now just maintain that puppy.

I built mine into my backyard shed. And after the tornado last year i was the only one with power!
