A family friend offered me "a large 220v air compressor" for a good price, which was good timing since my tiny 110v compressor had failed.

Didn't realize just how large it was.

76472

It's 6'2" high!

Pretty sure this is an "Industrial Air of Texas" Super Duty model B51V80-G23 (http://www.industrialair.com/superduty.html) (80g, 5hp, 17.5cfm at 100psi), built in 2000 or 2001. If I go by the pricing sheet I found, they go for $3600 new.

Wife doesn't know that part, but she has suggested more than once now that I sell it and get something more appropriately sized. It's bigger than the cabinet it's supposed to live in, and it's loud.. but it sure puts out a lot of air.

What's this worth? If I sold it, could I get a slightly smaller compressor and have a little money left over?
