sawmill possibly to sell or buy

A large diesel portable mill, with parts outfit and sharpening equipment. Unit is 10 years old. What would be a good market price me thinks $15,000. Some of this equipment is hard to value and area has a lot to due with it. What is your take on it?

I have some experiance with sawmills, but need
more information, i"m sure others would, as well.
What is the "Make" or brand, is it home made, or
a commercially made mill?
What is the "make of engine? Number of cylinders,
horsepower? Is it belt driven or PTO driven
What is the diameter of blade, does it have
insertable, replaceable teeth?
Does it have hydraulics? Such as hydraulic "dogs"
to lock the log down, Hydraulic "Setworks to
adjust the size,"Width", of cut? If so what is
the make of main hydraulic pump, and how is it
driven, from the main saw shaft,by belt?
What accessories come with it...edger, board end
trim saws..if so how are the driven.
what provision is made to blow, drag, or carry
away sawdust?
Is it portable, trailer mounted, so it can be
moved and set up at different locations, like
farm to farm, or stationary, so all logs must
be brought to it?
Finally...amount of usage in 10 years, such as,
8 hours per day, or several times a week, or
a few times a month, or 2 weeks a year? That
determines wear !

Is this a circle mill, swing mill or band mill? I've found sawmillexchange to be a handy reference.
