I am helping a friend sell a pair of venturi burners -- older, used with
natural gas, unused for years.

How do I know what the value is? Are there parts of the burners that can
go bad (ie: rust, rot, etc.) and need replacing?

How would you do it, in my shoes? Best offer? Ebay, craigslist,
potterbarter?

Hey Kelly!

When you find out what they are worth, let me know.
I've got eight Johnson venturi burners for sale.... last time I
checked (30 years ago!) they went for $ 225.00 a piece new.... A wire
brush removes all the rust and they are as good as new.... what
price????? My Rhodes kiln is for sale too....
Are we having fun yet?
