Here's a shop for sale in South Orange, NJ. I think its an object lesson in way too much, but you decide for yourself:
I dunno, $32K seems way too much to me. I'm guessing the unisaw, lathe, drill press and bandsaw are worth, what? $3K tops? Well, I post it in case anyone is interested and also symptomatic of things I'm seeing more and more on craigslist, used items at no discount, but instead with a premium. Just my rant, you may differ.
[EDIT: I wrote to Bruno to see if he'd part out the shop. No dice there, or at least not yet, but it seems this is his father in law's shop for which he's trying to help sell. The price may have been fixed by his aging F-I-L without regard to the market. Anyway, I mentioned that his price may be a bit steep and that if he really wanted to move this thing, he might look at an auctioneer/prof'l seller/consolidator or whatever they call them. So, does anyone know of such a type in the NorthEast? I know they exist, and even see stuff for sale through them elsewhere in the country, etc. If anyone knows of such a type, pm me to pass on to Bruno. Seems like he's trying to do the right thing by his family.]

This is a complete amateur furniture-maker/woodworker shop. Many pro-grade tools. This shop has taken over 20 years to assemble, constantly being upgraded. The owner is my father-in-law, an 80-year-old former engineer and fine woodworker who kept the tools well-maintained. Poor health is the reason for the sale. He just doesn't use it anymore.
Tools include: older US-made Delta 3-hp table saw,shaper,lathe, jointer, bandsaw, 6" belt sander and drill press. Several dust-collection systems. Compressor, disc and spindle sanders, compound miter saw, router table w/HD router, mortiser, thickness planer and others. Unimat lathe in plastic enclosure. Approx. 35 power hand tools. Planer, spray guns, dovetail jigs, saw fences, accessories and attachments for all the power tools. DeWalt, Jet, Hitachi, Ryobi, Porter-Cable, MultiCo, Oldham,Stanley, Milwaukee, Bosch, Elu, Fein, Leigh,Woodlawn, LieNielsen and so many others.
Literally hundreds of hand tools. Many high-end chisels and hand planes. Levels, clamps, gauges, sharpening stones. 2 roll-along Craftsman mechanics drawer chests full of tools. Wall cabinet full of power tools. A large collection of finishes, lacquers, stains, oils, glues, fasteners, specialty hardware, hardwood lumber and veneer. Many magazines and reference books. I cannot begin to list them. Itemized Excel tool/asset list available on request. Check this link for more photos

Our intention is to sell the entire shop as one piece, and are currently only listening to offers for the whole shop. We need the space! No shipping. Cash and carry. Easy ground-floor move-out.
Please contact me with questions. I am a carpenter/ex-cabinet maker, and know the shop well. I can answer all questions and am screening inquiries for my father-in-law. The photos are only of about half what is for sale.
Over $60,000 invested. Asking $32,000. If your response looks like a scam or phish, it will be ignored. Responses with phone numbers will be responded to first, though I will probably respond by e-mail unless you say differently. Will furnish electronic (Excel) itemized tool list on request. Thanks, Bruno
