As you know there $1,000 to 1,200 new so he's priced about right. You can tell the hours by the number of times the indicator blinks. I think it's one blink for each 100 hours hours of run time. Check the Honda site for a manual to check this out. He sounds like he's priced about right.

I went online at the Honda site and checked the manual, and it says:

Output Indicator
The output indicator (green) is illuminated when the generator is
operating normally. It indicates that the generator is producing
electrical power at the receptacles.
In addition, the output indicator has a simplified hour meter function.

When you
start the engine, the indicator blinks according to the generator’s cumulative operating hours as follows:
• No blinks: 0–100 hours
• 1 blink: 100–200 hours
• 2 blinks: 200–300 hours
• 3 blinks: 300–400 hours
• 4 blinks: 400–500 hours
• 5 blinks: 500 or more hours

A neat feature offered by Honda.

Well no sooner after I posted the ad was deleted. sold quickly.

Looking at a Craigslist ad here locally at a 2012 Honda 2000. Owner emailed me back stating he bought it at end of 2012. Stated only 15 hours use and come with theft deterrent handle. Asking 750.00. My Question is how do value a used Honda.

I was just at an outdoor show and a Honda dealer with a booth was selling them for $900 + tax (basically $1000 OTD). Best price I generally see online these days is $1000. $750 seems reasonable for a lightly used unit.

There will always be people who overpay for items on craigslist or at auction.

I would definitely pay the extra $150 to get a brand new Honda 2000 with 3 year warranty rather than buy a 5 year old model for $750 to $800.

If I can't get something used for half price of new, I buy new.

I asked for $800 and took $ for a 5yo one that had been used on the beach in a high salt environment..
I was pleased..

Not so sure-I'll be the devils advocate, $750 while a good price compared to new it is 3 years old.
Not so cheap that I'd be jumping out of my chair, it wouldnt sway me not getting new, IMO. Its out of warranty (3 years) though may last for ever. The 15hours-maybe honest-but 750 lot of coin.
I didnt really look but found one for 899 free ship which is what Id be comparing against-

We bought ours on Ebay for $650+ minimal shipping. Used only a couple of times according to seller, it was like new, no scratches, super clean. That can be had at way less than the standard $999 "in sale" price new.

700 for a new one is real good. Just looked at maybarrys site. 950.00 is a good deal for new too!

I bought a brand new one for $700

Thanks everyone for all the replies...
