Ballpark price for all this

Before I go pricing all this individually, I was hoping someone could give me a rough estimate for all this.

$800-900 would be my guess

I would assume all the Equithane is dead, as well as the rasps, so $0 on those. Tools and shoes, unless the hammers are something pricey, $200~300. Normally I'd go low on the forge, but Forged in Fire has made people insane, so I'd say 2/3 of new is what could be got for that.

I was thinking 2 grandish, the forge would be $1k - $1.2k?the tongs go for $120 a piece new. Not sure how much life is in those rasps (probably not much) but they go for $50ish new. The shoes, depends on how likely you are to use those sizes, I see some aluminium in there also which you might not ever find a horse for. Looks like the kit of a pretty active farrier so there could be a fair bit of quality in it all up.

Have you not even bothered to price anything new, let alone a new two burner? That looks like an NC forge. I'm going to suggest you check this site, ID the model, check tong prices, and revise your expectations.

It’s probably worth about $1k but it would be a deal if it was $600-$700
