thinking of selling my apla tech/graco cfs system


what do you guys think of the system. I do custom homes and think its not as good as mechanical tools. i use mesh and durabond 210, so i wouldent be able to run durabond through the airless sprayer. i run 210 through boxes just fine and have enough time to power wash the 2 boxes and pump. what would you guys say the set up is worth (used for a week)graco mark 5800$ aplatech box handle, slim line 10 flat box, angle pole, graco handle with brake,cost me 1500$ for apla tech tools. so 7300$ all together. do u think 4500$ is asking to much. keep in mind this system is like brand new. or should i hold on to them and bid on commercial work i know the system would work great with helpers and lots of footage. any feed back would be great thanks guys.....

I use mine a decent amount, anything over say 125 bds I use it. I always only run gp thru it. I don't think you would get what you should out of it and think your better off keeping it.
