If you got 50 bux each, that would be good given their physical appearance.

If you put some elbow grease into them, cleaned them and repainted them, etc...I could see getting 100/each.

To the right guy, they'd be like $200 each, but finding that guy is going to be tough, so it's Johnny off the street at 50 a pop is more likely than the odds of the 1 woodworker looking for vintage tools to come by your garage sale.



*this assumes they power up and actually will cut/drill wood.

Doesn't work on extremely old and heavy items so well.

Craigslist would actually be a lot better since you can pick a locality within the Craigs site.

Boss gave $100 a piece in December because it was a friend and they swore they were coming back to get it.

Pictures are not working for me. Would need specs on the drill press. Yes, I have sold some items like this on Craigslist (GF's dad was a carpenter and had a wood shop). Find out what a new one at Harbor Freight costs and make sure your pricing is less than that.

Harbor Freight sells Chinese junk. From what I understand Delta and Rockwell was/is top of the line. Granted they're about 60 years old.

True, but...Joe consumer off the street is going to consider HF tools that are NEW vs. 60 year old tools. To them the quality of a tool from that era is not a consideration.


So list them for 100 each, but be prepared to take downwards of 50 each...

$150 in your pocket and more garage space is better than

less garage space and $0 in your pocket. bulb

Delta Rockwell that old were the top of the line and very high quality. If they work well I wouldn't think getting at least $200 each would be out of line. Unless they are all rusted up and not working well you just can't buy that kind of quality an more.
