## Answer

A fair asking price for a used Polar paper cutter is the current range of live, priced Polar listings that match the cut width and control generation you are buying — not a hammer price from an auction catalog and not a new-machine quote minus a round number.

Polar asking prices move with three things more than the year on the plate: cut width (92 / 115 / 137), whether the control panel is still supportable, and whether the clamp and knife are demonstrably healthy. A clean 92 with a recent knife and a live panel sits at the top of the used range. An older panel with thin parts availability, a drifting clamp, or a machine that will not run a cut sits at the bottom — or should be treated as a parts bid.

Requip Market publishes asking prices, not closed sold comps. Use the live Polar range on this site as a check on the listing in front of you, then discount or premium for what the inspection actually shows. If a seller will not run the machine, do not pay the 'runs when you plug it in' number.

## Checklist

- Match cut width to the widest sheet you actually run (92 ≈ 36 in, 115 ≈ 45 in, 137 ≈ 54 in).
- Confirm control generation and whether replacement boards are still available.
- Ask for knife height / grind history and a cut under power on your stock if you can visit.
- Watch the clamp for even pressure and hydraulic drift; a tired clamp is not a cosmetic issue.
- Compare the asking price to the live Polar range on Requip Market — and read the sample size.
- Treat auction hammer prices and 'I saw one sell for…' stories as gossip until you see the machine.
