I guess everything is regional. I haven't seen a #8 sell at an auction for some time, but a 3-bottom #60 IH plow with an axle snapped off and completely missing, other parts badly broken and/or cobbled, and no wear parts other than some junk shares were even on the plow and it brought either $180 or $190 at a sale a couple of weeks ago I went to. It's probably been sent to China by the pound already.
A nice 2-bottom JD 44H with no cylinder but nice wear parts and a beautiful paint job brought $500 and the JD cylinder brought $145 more at an auction the week before. Plow was a very good buy with the wear parts, paint, and nearly new tires that were on it.
A neighbor bought a nice 2-bottom #8 last fall. It had been repainted, but the paint was a bit faded and it looked like cheap paint was used, but all of the wear parts were nearly new. Owner wanted $400 obo., and let it go for $300.
For a 2-bottom #8, I'd bet that....
$40 won't beat the scrap man here,
$100 might buy a yard ornament,
$150 might buy a nicer yard ornament or a plow with good potiental for parts or even a fixer-upper,
$200 might buy something that could go to the field with minimal work,
$300 might buy something that could go to the field with the aid of a grease gun, and
anything above that buys varying levels of paint and additional life left in the wear parts.
