Hello all,
Due to the current state of the economy, combined with the fact that my wife lost her 60K job 8 months ago, I am on the verge of needing to sell outright or work a trade + cash for my Etrac. To be honest, I've used it only 3-4 times since I bought it in 2010. My family really needs several hundred dollars to help make ends meet for a while longer but I also don't want to fully give up my hobby. I am wondering if it's reasonable to expect enough out of it to get $500+ a used MXT/M6/F70? Or would I be better to sell it outright and buy a good used machine? It's in mint condition with a rain cover, Andy's book, original box, phones, etc. I never really got the hang of this model anyway and still prefer the wife's machine (an aging rainbow XLT that has seen better days). I just don't know the market and with family issues going on I honestly have been out of it since last summer, so any help is appreciated.
