    If I parted this out

    What kind of interest would there be if I parted this unit out? I really need the space in my garage shop. So if you would like to make some offers for parts, I would be open to listen.



    Thanks!

    Have you tried Craigslist locally? The entire thing should sell pretty easily unless your market is too soft...

      Yes, I had a couple of tire kickers but nothing serious yet. One guy just wanted to come by and see what one looked like in person I would love to sell it as a whole unit!

        Is it possible / beneficial to you to donate it to a non profit for perhaps the tax credit? I know that a couple of the larger churches around here have the experienced woodworkers in the congregation (typically the older men) that teach at risk youth woodworking skills (and in turn, life skills) while building furnishings for Habitat for Humanity and other ministry projects...

        You might want to check your local, well whatever inclination you may have to donate to, church, synagogue, mosque, civic club, whatever... and see if they have a program or know of one.

        Too bad you aren't in coastal Texas though. I know 3 or 4 guys locally that would snap that up... The shipping from out of state would be a killer though.

          Some of that might be hard to part out if it's not a local buyer. I haven't seen a big demand for the folding outfeed table, especially after shipping charges. (It's not exactly light). I would hate to part out something like that. Way too many boxes and people I would want to deal with.

          You might consider dropping the price if the main motivation is just to get it gone.

            I tend to agree with the OPs. there are a few items there that would part out easily but the majority will be tough both from a demand and shipping perspective. You would also end up left with a saw with missing parts that will be harder to sell.

            what have you been trying to get for it locally?

              I did as the members here suggested, I started it at $300.00 and have since dropped the price to $250.00. I am still a little flexible on the price if someone was sincerely interested.

              Thanks!

                I have this setup, and My shop is too small for it, but sell it for $250.00 I would not do.

                I paid over $400.00 for the saw alone. Bill

                  If at first you don't succeed, deny you were trying in the first place.

                          If I hadn't bought a SawStop I would be all over yours. Hope you find someone who wants a good deal.

                            Congrats on the Saw Stop. I have read that they are great saws.

                              If you do wind up selling bits and pieces I would be interested in what you have left when we are in Milwaukee for Thanksgiving and/or Xmas.
