If it were me, I would get all the model numbers and do a search on
Ebay, Craigslist and a general Google search. See what others are
asking, if that item is still being sold. Otherwise, take a similar
model and compare it but you'd still need to ask much less depending on
age.

Though, I think you should sell the Sorby set for $50 and guess what,
I'll buy them because I'm in the Detroit area ; )

Seriously, it may be much work, but it'll help you get a fair asking
price. Once you figure out the asking price of the turning tools, please
do let me know. I am interested.

That old Delta stuff will still be useable long after a lot of the
new stuff is junked.

You don't need to discount it much for "age" if the condition is as it
is described.


When/if parts are difficult to find for an outdated machine, it'll be
difficult to sell at a price close to retail.
