[peej410]

i just aquired one of these very inexpensively in a package deal with a milling machine and a lathe, it also has a brown and sharpe magnetic "vice" its in really good condition and is really clean but im wondering how much its worth? and where i could sell it ? i talked to a local shop and told them i wanted 500 but then looked online and saw one on ebay for 1000. so i was wondering what it should be worth thanks in advance - pete

I'll give you ten bucks!! Just kidding that's actually a pretty nice surface grinder with a nice vice. You should be able to get 750-1200 dollars for it depending on condition and need of the person purchasing. Really as always it's worth what someone is willing to pay.

When I tried to sell mine, I just couldn't get bites..finally sold to a tool/tooling middleman for $500 or so

good luck! just take your time and a buyer will show up
