Hoping for help. What’s this prop worth?

Roadrunner wrote:I dusted off this Tempest 25. I’m wondering what it may be worth as I’m going to sell it. The only problem I see it a couple of small nicks on two of the blades. It doesn’t seem like a big deal to me but I took “close ups” of the two blades with the nicks. They don’t go all the way through. I just want to make sure it’s not a real big deal because I don’t want to rip anybody off. Thanks in advance.Sorry I can only give an educated guess on a price. But first, those “nicks” appear to be pockets from a poor rework weld job that did not fully refill the blade area. Typically any rework reduces the asking price to about 50% of new and a poor rework makes the prop worth a little more than scrap(~$75 maybe if anyone would buy it). If it still runs good and you find someone local to try it and they like how it runs even with the visual issues, then you can still get decent money out of it(~$150).

The propeller appears to have had a repair done.

Thats an A45. In the hands of the right prop doctor and right setup, will be about the fastest prop somebodys bolted on. Thin blades make that a runner. Its wont take a beating like a Tempest Plus – but if fixed right, will be somebodys secret weapon….. Needs to be bolted on a 150 – 175 2.5L. Itll turn like a 24, but be faster. On a 3L theyre prone to crack and lose blades like a Trophy. Thats why they went to the “Plus” series for durability.
