Hi everyone,
I'm new to these forums and pretty new to routing as well. I'd like to get set up to make some cabinets and doors, but money is an issue, so I've been looking for used equipment. I posted a wanted ad on a local buy-and-sell site and someone sent me a couple pics of a Porter Cable plunge router (maybe a 690) in a table and a pile of bits. I haven't been to see any of it yet, and the seller admitted he wasn't too sure what it was all worth. However, he did say that some of the bits are worth about $150 each (I'm in Canada, so prices are probably higher up here then in the states) and I counted as many as 80 bits in the photos.
Any advice about how to determine a fair value for a lot like this? I know it's probably hard without seeing it, but any suggestions about value or other things to consider when I go to look at it would be much appreciated. There's a lot more stuff there than I need right now, but I don't want to miss a good deal either if the price is right.
Thanks very much.
