Worth Of My BT3100?

[LarryG]

Now that I've gone to the Dark Side, my three-year-old BT3100-1 is for sale. I'd like to sell the basic saw plus a few generally-desirable extras as a package deal, rather than part it all out. The question is how much to ask for it. I want to be fair, but fair includes both the buyer AND me.

If some of the more experienced members here would be interested in helping me establish a fair market value, please send me a PM and I'll give you a list of what all will be included.

Thanks much!

Assuming excellent condition; $175.00 saw only then for accessories 50% of new cost.

Larry, I'm facing the same question now that I've fallen for the same deal you have. My saw is in very good condition. I have the entire accessory package, an extra set of (BT 3000) rails, a package of T-nuts and studs (that I might keep), possibly a new Shark Guard, depending on how much of the old one I can use on the new saw, an extra dual miter slot table and maybe some jigs.

I was thinking I'd like to get at between $300 and $400 for the whole thing. It's probably worth a bit more than that parted out but then there's the hassle factor.

I've been searching for a used BT3100 near me for about a month now. Just bought a very lightly used one for $225.00, no extras. Considering the only new model comparable is the 21829 at $450.00 (possibly $400 on sale, but I've not seen it on sale yet.) I considered it a fair price. Most of the users on this site appear to consider the original sale price at $275.00 underpriced for the value received. Looks like Sears figured that out.
