Selling your Hedelius BC or C: why condition sets the price
The older BC and C series from Hedelius in Meppen in the Emsland form the affordable end of the used market: BC 40 to BC 100, C 50 to C 100, plus CB 50, CB 80 and the MC 40, built roughly from 1997 to 2012. They are mechanically robust and have run in many shops for two decades. And for them, several listings with a price are posted on used-machinery marketplaces.
Asking prices on gebrauchtmaschinen.de (October 2026)
| Model | Build year | Control | Condition per listing | Asking price (net) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| C 80 | 2007 | Heidenhain iTNC 530 | fully functional | €22,500 |
| BC 80 | 1999 | Heidenhain TNC 426/430 | fully functional | €39,500 |
| C 60-2000 | 2006 | Heidenhain iTNC 530 | fully functional | €45,000 |
| BC 100-2500 | 2003 | Heidenhain iTNC 530 | untested | €47,000 |
| BC 80 | 1999 | Heidenhain | in need of repair, limited function | €6,000 |
The most striking gap sits in row two and row five: two BC 80s, both from 1999, one fully functional at €39,500, one in need of repair at €6,000. It shows that at this age condition, equipment and documentation set the price — not the build year. These are asking prices from individual listings (net, October 2026), not sale prices and not firm offers from us. The methodology behind our figures: What is my CNC machine worth?
What determines your Hedelius BC or C’s price
- Condition: the dominant factor. Spindle, guideways and axis drives decide whether your machine lands at the top or the bottom of the market.
- Documentation: maintenance history, test protocols and a clean hour reading are real money at this price level, because they take the risk assessment off the buyer’s hands.
- Control: the control generation (TNC 426/430 or iTNC 530) enters the valuation; fully functional matters more than new.
- Running hours: one of the documented older machines showed 50,534 operating hours against 27,448 spindle hours. Figures like that are normal here; state both numbers separately.
- Equipment and accessories: magazine size, workholding, touch probes and fixtures sold with the machine move the value noticeably on old machines.
Typical buyers of a Hedelius BC or C
Buyers are smaller subcontract machinists, repair shops, fixture builders and training workshops who need a second or third machine for overflow work and do not have the budget for a young machining centre. For them one thing counts: does it run without a retrofit. All series at a glance: Hedelius brand hub. Current stock: Machine catalogue.
How the sale works
The process follows our Hedelius acquisition process: the nameplate, build year, control, operating and spindle hours plus photos of the control panel and working area are enough for a first assessment. On the older series especially, a few extra photos are worth it, because condition carries the valuation. The offer follows, then payment before pickup; we organise disassembly and transport.
