Lucy1980 Posted March 27 Report Share Posted March 27 My mom just retired as a potter in Boulder Colorado and has a very nice Brent slab roller for sale to clear out her studio. I have no idea how much such an item would be worth. The closest new model is $3K. Any ideas how much these things go for used? It's bed is 26” wide X 76” long and 35” high. It's a floor mount unit with the large turn wheel. Closest comp is the Brent 20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilestrick Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 Most buyers of used studio equipment are hobby potters, and people looking for a used slab roller are looking for a deal. Unfortunately Brents are not one of the more desirable models due to the way you have to add or remove boards to adjust the thickness of the slab. It's also a very long, which can be difficult to fit in a lot of home studios, and the cable system is not fun to replace when they wear out. There are good new slab rollers with infinite dial adjustments and a smaller footprint like Shimpo or Northstar that sell for $1000-1500, so I think that realistically you need to come in under that.

Jeff Longtin Posted March 30 Report Share Posted March 30 If you look in the Community Marketplace someone posted looking for a used slab roller. (In Boulder no less.) Rae Reich 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark C. Posted March 30 Report Share Posted March 30 I see those for $700-$900 as Neil said they are not the best slab rollers. I dislike the cables always stretching-really poor design.-post it on the ceramic facebook sites for best exposure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
