Hi, I'm very new here, as a member at least. I've been woodworking for a long time and occasionally found very helpful tips on Sawmill Creek over the years. I'm hoping the community can give me some advice or insight. I used to have a small furniture shop in my garage, with a nice collection of semi-pro equipment, but about 2 years ago I moved to a different city, rented a section of a fully equipped shop, and put all of my own equipment in storage. Then I got a part-time job managing a student woodshop at a university, so now I have access to two fully equipped shops, and it's feeling ridiculous and hoarderish to hang onto my old equipment. It's time to let it go to people who will put it back to use. My problem is that it's been so long since I shopped for small shop equipment that I have no sense of the market value of this stuff. This forum seems like the place where people would know.
All of it is single-phase, and in good used condition. I don't need to juice every dime I can out of this equipment, and it would be silly to hold out for top dollar from a buyer while simultaneously paying to store the stuff. On the other hand, I don't want to look back on this in six months and feel like I stupidly gave away these machines that I once worked so hard to acquire. I'd rather sell locally (Pittsburgh, PA), but I'm obviously able to build shipping crates / pallets if that makes more sense. If anyone here would care to venture guesstimates as to what good-but-not-too-good prices would be to ask for these machines, I'd really appreciate it.
