I find saws like this at garage sales 3 or 4 times a year, usually marked $5. My intention has been to sharpen them and sell them. Do you think $30 - $40 is reasonable for a saw like this, sharpened well? I would do this next summer on Saturday afternoons. I am sure my wife could not stand the noise, and I do not heat my shop in the winter, although I might make arrangements for next winter. I was thinking of just taking the whole lot to a local auction house where they would fetch about a dollar for the lot. The first pic is an early D-7 in good condition, and the handle, second is a D-8 and the handle, last is a pic of the pile of saws. It seems to me crosscut saws would be in more demand. What do you think? Should I keep them and work on them, or get rid of them?
