Same year does not mean same machine.
Spindle, axis, control, work envelope, automation, probing, tooling and other options can materially change both asking price and value.

1996 MODEL-YEAR EVIDENCE
Observed 1996 Mazak QT20 asking prices ran from $11,500 to $22,900.
The median of 6 distinct published asking prices was $15,700. Exact duplicate prices within the same model year were collapsed so repeated records do not silently add weight.
This comes from recorded machines, not a standard age-based depreciation formula. It remains asking-price evidence—not proof of a completed sale or the value of an uninspected unit.

Hours, geometry, maintenance, alarms, crash history, operating proof and service access determine where a machine fits within or outside the observed range.
The machine price is not the installed cost.
Inspection, decommissioning, freight, rigging, site work, utilities, tooling, training, repair allowance and downtime belong in the decision.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Questions answered directly.
What is a 1996 Mazak QT20 worth?
The MBB catalog contains 6 distinct published asking prices for the 1996 Mazak QT20, from $11,500 to $22,900, with a median of $15,700. This is market context, not a guaranteed value.
Why can two machines from the same year have different values?
Control, configuration, options, hours, operating condition, maintenance, tooling, location, removal requirements and seller terms can all move the number.
Is the displayed range based on depreciation?
No. It is calculated from distinct asking-price observations for the named brand, model and year.
