EDIT: I have permission to offer $1,200 cash if you take it all (except the air filtration unit, which I am now planning to take off his hands).
A nice gentleman in our neighborhood (and our neighborhood's longtime HOA president) has decided to shorten his long list of hobbies and get rid of all the woodworking equipment he has acquired. This afternoon I visited his wonderful basement shop and took pictures and notes on what I saw.
Well, from what I saw, this stuff is all in fantastic shape. Workloads on this equipment is probably very low (his hobby was primarily constructing the cabinetry for his house after he moved in). Purchase dates that I can see on the manuals look to be ca. 1999-2004.
His dream is to sell all of this in a single sale to someone who will use these machines. While he has no price in mind, his repeated mantra is "I will be EXTREMELY reasonable. I just need to get this all out of my house."
Given his concerns about safety, he won't list on Craigslist. He also asked that I do not post his number or email. If you are interested, just message me and I will coordinate the connection.
While I do not have authority on pricing, I have shared the NCWW wisdom of a 50% rule on used woodworking tools. If you take the shop, I suspect he'll do even better.
This is a great opportunity for someone. (I wish he had come along two years ago before I bought so many of these things.)
I asked him about wood. He tells me he tossed what he had in the dumpster down our street where other neighbors are adding on.
