Summary
Machine Blue Book's September 2026 report analyzes 12,750 indexed used-machine listing records. After applying a published analytical range of $500 to $5 million, 10,796 asking prices remain. The median asking price is $30,000; the middle 50 percent runs from $14,500 to $64,000. The report emphasizes that category and manufacturer concentration materially affect the combined figure and that asking prices are not completed-sale prices.
