25hp, 4cyl 2 stage air compressor. 230/460 volt motor. 120 gallon. Works but after cooler for removing moisture got damaged by one of our forklift drivers moving it.
Anybody in the industry that knows what it's worth as is?

The aftercooler might be ok if the tube isn't leaking. I'd estimate the value around $1500-2500, and I don't think the damaged aftercooler will have a big effect on value. The power demand is too big for a home user, and industrial users with significant air needs will want something more efficient than a reciprocating compressor. Maybe an auto repair shop would be your target customer.

Yeah that is the only reason I don't keep it is the power it needs. We have screw compressors in our shop but this was from our shipping building which is moving down into out shop. I thought the same thing that it'd be good for a mechanic shop or a paint / wood shop.

Would like to sell it to buy a more practical home compressor.

I've thought about bringing it to somewhere like south bend industrial in clover who buy out factories but I wanted to know what it's worth, if they would even buy it.

I'm guessing they would offer you $500ish for it. I don't mean to insinuate anything bad about that particular company, but just the used equipment industry in general.

But I'll give you $200 for it :p
