Maybe 6 or 7 years ago, Matthew from Kogswell gave me one of these in the same size for free. I think the MSRP was $750 or $800 then, sort of a budget Rambouillet. It's not my size, but I hung it on the wall of my shop for a couple years. Finally I took it to a swap meet in Madison with every intention of selling it, even if the selling price was way low (since it was free for me...). I had one guy hovering over it for several hours. He offered $350. I said yes. He got nervous and retracted his offer. Later he came and offered $250. I told him that I didn't care for his price negotiation style, but that I would take $250 if he was serious this time. Then he got nervous again and started questioning why I'd sell it so cheap. I told the guy to eff off, and returned home with the frameset. I put it on ebay the next day and it went for close to $600. It's all about finding the right buyer. Kogswell has been out of biz for several years now, so whatever marketing they did back in the day has a limited effect now. I doubt there are many people actively looking for the older models of Kogswell.
