Usual price for used is about $75 to $150. I was bothered, maybe still am, by
suggestion the prop may need factory reconditioning. I have never seen one
that could use reconditioning at all unless it had hit something. Maybe seller
was just being unusually helpful.

If the prop is is good condition it is worth its asking price. If it requires
factory reconditioning, perhaps consideration of a brand new prop is in order.

Jax:

I guess I erred on the side of giving too much information. It's just that I
pulled up Martec's website and found
a whole menu of things that they will do:
1. "Clean, rebalance and polish:$60.00" It has been thoroughly cleaned and
polished but I have no idea what would require "rebalancing". Is it like a car
wheel ?

2: "Redrill pivot holes in blades and hub: $40.00" Guess that would only be
necessary if they did #1.

3: "Oversize monel pivot pin:$12.00" Guess that would follow after drilling.

Then they list such hardware items as Monel cotter pins, shaft key, shaft nut.

Totalling all those items I came up with the $125.00 estimate. I would not do
any of it myself, except for buying new cotter pins and shaft key, but it
occurred to me that some purist might want everything perfect so provided the
info.

Guess I should have "KISS" (Keep it simple, stupid!)!

Anyway, I can assure any would be buyer that the prop is in "GOOD CONDITION"
and available for inspection.

Good deal on that prop. If you list it on Ebay you'll get much more than 100
bucks. Take a good pic.
