Makita corded track saw - considering selling

[Famtraveler24]

Hi all. Fairly new to the group so thanks for allowing me to be a part. I have a Makita corded track saw that is about 1 yr old and am considering selling in favor of a cordless. It's been used maybe 5x. Would $400 be reasonable? If so, I'm in CLT and can send pics. Thx.

There's one with a rail on the Wilmington CraigsList for $325 that has been languishing for a while.

I have one of these and it's one of my favorite tools.

Put up your pics and list parts included - you can always drop your price when contacted by a serious buyer. JMHO, of course. Do you have the rail(s)? How long? Case?

I'd like a track saw and used would be cheaper, but for $300-400 I'd probably be inclined to buy new. Would cordless be significantly better? I guess using it anywhere outside my shop would be a big advantage. I have mostly Makita battery tools so I already have plenty of batteries.

You have to deal with the dust collection hose anyway so just wrap or velcro the cord to it. You’ll come out of a corded to cordless deal negative $100 or so. I can think of better ways to spend that $100.

Will provide pics tomorrow. Case included. I have a 55 and 36 rail though I need to keep or get a good price for them.

Clips to pair up dust hose and power cord.

The reason I prefer this over a cordless tool is that your dust extractor automatically turns on when you start your saw or sander and turns off a few seconds after you shut it off.

are those clips 3d printed or did you buy them somewhere?

I just lifted that pic off Etsy. They are 3D printed. They come in a variety of diameters and colors. I'm using zip ties right now but it's kind of a waste when I need to cut them off. Those clips just pop off.

zip ties a waste when I cut them off

With a small flat blade screwdriver 1/8" wide +/- thin blade/tip, you can easily lift the 'latching' mechanism on a zip tie and undo it/re-use it. Now, you know.

The fella on Craigslist has been rrying to sell the kit and kaboodle "This tool looks new and comes with the guide rails and box." for $325 since November of last year

Thanks all. I think I'm going to go the clip route. Appreciate all the feedback.
