Most of the time I see people giving them away. I found a Union 36 loom on eBay and I almost bought it a few days ago until my loom expert/friend forbid me to buy it. He said he'd never been my friend again if I purchased it. ;o)
He's purchased Union 36 looms for anywhere from $10.00-$100.00 and he buys them for parts. He said the problem is you have to replace so many parts on them to get them working again that they are no longer antique and that is what people want them for, their antique value. This was the case on the Union 36 loom from Mesa, AZ on eBay the other day.
I *really* wanted that loom until talking to my friend. Now I know better. However if you can find one that is in working order and you don't need to replace the hettles, etc, you might have something you can enjoy anyway. But from all my research they aren't worth a lot.
