I don't think its worth the asking price, but it is pretty sweet.

you only need a $50k diff to make it operable, assuming everything else is ok.Don't know how much I expected a 26 year old 100t crane to cost, but it was more than $75k

Yeah, and at least the diff is a known issue that they actually disclose. Then there's all the unknowns depending on how long its been sitting and how neglected it already was before the diff went out. Probably another $50-100k worth of hydraulic hoses and cylinder rebuilds and $20k for a hydraulic fluid change. Another $10-20k for a crane recertification (or however much that costs, I have no idea). It may need none of those things. Or you may have $300k+ in it by the time you get a crane that's ready to go to work. Or maybe you find a used diff or fix it for $5k and have an awesome crane for $80k out the door. But too many "rough around the edges" kinda things going on there, so I'm betting it would need a lot.you only need a $50k diff to make it operable, assuming everything else is ok.
You know, this is something that could easily be overlooked.$20k for a hydraulic fluid change.
Plus the liability...if you are lifting something that requires a 100T crane...its kinda important it stays lifted until you are ready to set it in place.You know, this is something that could easily be overlooked.
I thing it's only use is spare parts. A company that does work like that couldn't rely on it to make money without another crane of like size on hand.
dont forget new cable, rollers and guides. those all have a service life that is rolled into the recertification. company ive used said they sell theirs before they have to do all that because of the cost. said alot of tree companies buy their stuff because no one is checking to see if all their stuff is still certified until things go wrong.Yeah, and at least the diff is a known issue that they actually disclose.
