Surely Jerry can explain his thoughts. I recall he was trying to sell one a while back.
I paid about $13,000 for mine, and sold it for $3,500. That was a big loss, but, being as I am retired and basically the only thing I've used it for the last 2 years was as a "stud finder" in the house were we are now. A rather *EXPENSIVE* "stud finder" - so I sold it to someone who will be able to make use of it. It should help his inspections and his business, and his up front investment cost was 1/4 what mine was.
