Default Help with price of Skutt model 181

What a beautiful kiln! It looks to be in perfect shape. My skutt is
quite similar (not sure of the model number, as I am at work and my
kiln is at home), except it goes to cone 8 and has a blank ring in the
middle (ring with no elements). I bought it 'lightly used' about 3 or
4 years ago for $300, which was really an incredible deal! I would
say, considering the beautiful shape it is in, you can certainly ask
for more than that. Just remember that if your buyer wanted to pay top
dollar, they probably would have bought directly from skutt!

Good luck!

Working through my grandmothers estate we have a Skutt model 181 that
she bought many years ago but apparently never used. Seems she kept
using her Paragon A-55. We have someone who is interested in the kiln
but when asked to make an offer they simply asked us what we wanted for
it. Being that I spend most of my days on rec.games.pinball I don't
have any knowledge about kilns.

Poking around the Skutt website provided little info. The most I could
find there was that it was most like their A-818 (can't find anything
on this model either) or the KS-818p which apparently goes to ^8. I
also searched this group and found a few hits but most of them were
from the 97-2002 range and didn't provide much pricing info.

Anyhow, some pics of the kiln are at:

I would appreciate any comments on its fair market value. Its located
in/around the Fort Lee area of NJ if anyone is interested. We have tons
of greenware (?) and molds too that I can get pics/inventories of as
well.

I will be watching this group for a bit but you can also reply directly
to me at

Thanks
Bryan
