Since I started teaching I have very limited time for ice fishing. I have a Strikemaster Lazer 224 I would like to sell but have no idea what to ask for it. It has 2 stroke, 2 HP, and 4 blades. It is in very good condition and hasn't been used in at least 5 years. Prior to that it was used on two trips a year up north for about 4-5 days each. I am going to have a tune up done on it but thought I would check the knowledge base here on a starting price.

I would check craigslist, find the cheapest (truly) comparable item, watch the listing. If it disappears price yours about the same, if it’s been up for a month price yours lower if you want to sell.

Around here most used augers of that caliber go for about $150. If it’s in really nice condition $200. People are skiddish around used, small engines.

Yours may fetch more, just thought I’d throw it out there.

I’d head to your local bait shop. Maybe 1 that doesn’t sell augers. Ask if you could hang a sign up.

Good luck!

Thanks for the tips. That gives me a starting point.

Most guys around here are going to electric, either stand alone or with the various adapters. I would get it on the market ASAP as the season is just starting up in earnest most places and next year prices for gas augers will be much lower.

I put it on a facebook buy, sell,trade group and sold it for $125 in about two hours. I agree with moonman, electric has come a long way and is seen more and more.
