I don't know what those cabinets cost so can't reply on them. But the listed price for all the other tools seems pretty close to new prices. Granted they do appear to be almost new for usage. Not sure about age though.

The cabinets are a bargain comparing to current pricing here. - well
under half price.

it is a common human affliction to price things too high
especially on craigslist

but you have to start with the price high because i am pretty sure
that no one pays more than the asking price on craigslist

and i think most never pay even the asking price

from the looks of it some is selling everything so the best way to
go is offer them one price for the lot


can be hard to pass up offers like that when you just want to get rid
of stuff

Around here, Craigslist isn't very popular - another similar web
site rules - Kijiji .. same idea though, I just posted 4 shop
machines 10" table saw, 10" RAS, 3-wheel 16" bandsaw and
a combo belt+disk sander all for $ 400. Old, well used stuff but
working. ~ 6 replies for sanding machine only ; 2 for table saw ;
2 for the lot.
I sold it all to a neighbour for $ 300. rather than dicker with a
stranger. C'est la vie.

I hear you. But for me, if you do not start with a realistic market price, then you will not even get people calling to dicker. I'm not going to waste my time to bargain you down from an unrealistic too high price. I'll only call for someone who knows what the real price is and starts there. Then they don't have to dicker or argue with a buyer because it is the correct price.

well you never know

high prices can often mean different things

sometimes it is due to just an unreasonable seller

sometimes due to a family that just lost a woodworker and has no clue
what to price it at so they start high to be safe

An analogy. House prices. If I was selling my house by myself, I would find out what houses sold in my neighborhood over the past year. I can do this through the county website for property taxes. Takes a little effort. If I was lazy, or an A Hole, and did not do this and decided to price my house at 50% above market price, I would not get a single person to walk through and see my house and would not get one offer. Someone selling tools can also figure out the real market price before they list it on Craigs List or wherever. If they don't then I can rightly conclude they are lazy and/or an A Hole. They have no interest in selling the item and will not get me to look at it.

Around here this past year you checked what the last house sold for
and added 20%, The prices were going CRAZY. Slowed down a bit right
now - but agents wouldn't even give you an evaluation this summer. -
Everything was going for above listed price - with numerous bids

chinese are using foreign real estate as investment

there are places where houses are bought and never lived in and
often times it is all cash

china has an excess of pretty much everything

manuf capacity
liquid assets
steel and other building materials
people

have heard of new but uninhabited cities but sure if it is true

sometimes they do not want to take the time to do research and rely
on price discovery

which on craigslist means whatever someone will pay you and how bad
you want to be rid of something


have gone to craigslist seller and got great deals by just talking
it over

the point is you never know the seller or their mindset so if it is
something you are interested in the worst that can happen is no deal
