How much do i offer for a highmount winch

I know a bloke that has pulled me up a few time and said make me an offer on my winch!

As you all know when parting with cash you dont want to overshoot the mark or offend the bloke by offering not enough.

the winch hasen't been used for years and it is in the blokes way.

WHAT SHOULD I OFFER

there a couple in the melb trading post, one was $650 the other $900. So if it is in good nick then guess somewhere around 900, if not less. But then again whats it worth to you.

i paid 1500 for mine and it had been used 5 times and the fella had paid $2,800 for it!!

but i guess if it was an older one and it is in his way i would offer around 650 to 700 and see what happens..

purchased highmount winch for $400 good price i thought untill i stripped the winch.
-Secondary gear of motor end is stuffed(covered in rust) found out that i have to purchase the hole top end of winch (cant just buy the gear)

-found a second problem the primary gear on the break shaft (the gear beside the cam)is missing a tooth!!!!!

got a price from local agent at a cost of $600 for these faults

Is there somwhere that i can buy direct or buy cheep part for the M8274?
