I just came across a dewalt 7730 in a house I was cleaning out. Was going to put it on Craigslist but had no idea what to ask for it as it is an older model and I know they are expensive new. Do u think $200 is a fair asking price?

Your price sounds fair enough. Your dilemma may be that there just
doesn't seem to be as much demand for radial arm saws as in the past.
Couldn't you find any reference prices on craigslist? Since you got it
for free, it sounds like you can afford to let it go cheap (which is
what will probably happen). Good luck!

Wikipedia says the arrival of the miter saw is largely responsible. But
still points out some advantages that a RAS has over a TS.

I have both and I wouldn't part with my Radial Arm saw.

Ditto and I wouldn't part with mine either. Sure beats a table saw when you
need to whack a foot off a 10' piece 8/4 oak.

Yeahbut, I so prefer my SCMS over any radial arm saw for this type of work.

Your best best is to do some Craigslist and ebay searches to see what these
things are going for these days. A lot of people may may have fond memories
of maches, but that does not mean you can get the kind of money that fond
memories suggest. Reality is a whole 'nother thing. Best to look and see
what other people are getting for like items. Unfortunately, some machines
that seem like they should command more, just don't. A lot does depend on
where you are, too.

Throw out a price.....200.00
I have an old Sears Radical Arm Saw....
It still sits in my shop and I never use it.
Although they do have some interesting adaptions I always liked.
They are quite dangerous, and can be lethal in the wrong hands....

It would be more than I would pay for that saw. If you want to go to Kent,
WA, you can buy one for $45 on Craig's List; if you want to go to Maryland,
there is one for $300.
