That is the approach I take when selling tools - along with checking for comps on Craigslist and ebay.? If you have time, I'd suggest a little higher to start, given good condition and ready to go.? Maybe 75% & 60% of Grizzly/HF and accessories costs.? You can always come down.

I've upgraded to dedicated CNC machines and was looking for suggestions on how to price mini-lathe (Grizzly G8688) and mini-mill (Harbor Freight) for sale.? Used but well taken care of.? Fully adjusted.

Each has a fair amount of aftermarket accessories such as MT#2 chuck, A2Z QC toolpost, ER32 collet chuck/collets, 4-jaw chuck --- power feed, belt-drive, air spring, rotary table (plus all original parts. Stand/table for each.?
I was thinking of starting out at 60% of Grizzly/HF new price plus 50% of new cost for the accessories.???
Is this realistic?? In the end it's whatever the local market (West Coast USA) will support.? There is a bone stock G8688 on FB marketplace with no accessories and some minimal tooling (worse condition than mine) for $1000 which strikes me as "highly optimistic".
