need prices for woodworking tools

[CRF8]

hopefully this is the correct page for this, will move to classifieds later,

I am helping my 92 year old father set prices for some 15-20 year old power woodworking & turning tools, for a Craig's list type "for sale ad." These were all purchased new by him, used for a decade, then sat in the garage for the last 10 years unused.
#1 Coronet lathe with 2 additional extra long bars
#2 Milwaukee router with an over-under setup on a table with rollers, extra collars and bits
#3 Delta table saw on rollers, with extra blades
#4 unknown belt sander on table with rollers
#5 Delta drill press

I am unable to get any more information or photos, this is all !!
thanks for any help.

Local market where you live is about as important as whatever anyone thinks they may be worth as it varies greatly. I'm in Indiana with a number of DIY woodworker types. I'd say roughly these values would sell them within a month or two, but some places want lower, some would go higher:

1. I don't know much about Coronet or what model this is, but looks good for $200 easily.
2. MW Router, can't tell much from your photo, I'd say $75-100.
3. Looks like a Delta Contractor's Saw but without much of an extension table to it. I'd say about $250.
4. Sander good for $100 at least, perhaps 150.
5. Drill press good for $125 or so.

Others may differ in their thoughts on the values. Good luck! - Paul

Woodworking tools are a tough sell around here in central Illinois. Except for the drill press you would be looking at about half the above values if you wanted to sell them in my area.

That's a Jet Contractors table saw, not a Delta. Still a solid saw though.

Ah, thanks. I might lower my estimate for the Jet by $50 or so. Not quite as desireable as a Delta contractor but still good as you say. - Paul

#1 Coronet lathe with 2 additional extra long bars - $100
#2 Milwaukee router with an over-under setup on a table with rollers, extra collars and bits - $50
#3 Delta table saw on rollers, with extra blades - $200
#4 unknown belt sander on table with rollers - $100
#5 Delta drill press - $125

Prices tend to be regional and seasonal. Woodworking tools don't appears to be fast sellers at the garage and estate sales I visit. #3 and #5 will be the easiest to sell. #1 and #2 will be the toughest IMHO.

P.S. #4 is a Craftsman.

You aren't kidding there. A friend of mine has an entire wood shop from his father still set up that is rarely used. He only uses it to trim down replacement doors etc. Hard to even give some of this stuff away around here. I have a couple of cheaper pieces that my Grandfather left that I actually tried unsuccessfully to giveaway.

Prices are all over depending on your location. some Sears 10'' saws with cast iron extensions can be bought for $100.00 , the sander is handy however those too can be around $100.00. Since it's on its own stand I would go for $150.00.
You can also list or best offer and lower price later. Maybe consider a package deal ? Check craigs list for your area for similar items.
There are always sellers trying to get current prices for old ones. List place of origin too, if Taiwan that is much better than China.

I mostly agree with this post. These prices are pretty accurate for here in the Pacific NW. My opinion on the Chinese-made Delta table top drill press is far less optimistic than others. I put it at $75-$100. Conversely, depending on how many router bits come with the router, I would price that in the $100 range.

thanks very much, I have corrected the 2 errors. I will get an average price for each item from your suggestions and another forum as well.
