whats this winch worth ?

[montanarover]

i got this winch with a deal i made for a 74 88' and i am thinking of selling it to put money back into the rover because you should never buy rovers just from pics.its a 6000 lb bellview made by rover motor company..i got a bunch of parts with the rover but the guy thought this was a real gem ...please help

Why do you want to sell it? Why not fit it?

It is a pre-Warn product, apparently. Predecessor to the 8274.

Value around this guys, depending on what you have with it.

FANTASTIC period winch that looks good on a series rover. Aside from looking good, they actually work quite well. I'd suggest holding on to it..

Here's one for sale on the Boston Craigslist:

Coincidentally, it has the same serial number as yours!

I think you've priced it about right, since you're including shipping. Warn 8274s start at around $500 no shipping.

It's a great price if he has all the pieces, but it's not complete in the pictures.

I sold a bellview built into a series front bumper with the cable controls for $500 about 3 or 4 years ago.

They're nice for a period resotration and actually work quite well but they are power in only, no power out, only free spool out.

I sold a complete but rough condition Warn 8274 winch a couple of years ago to a friend for $300. I think that was a good deal for him...not so much for me and I kick myself now but I was in need of cash at the time.
