    Ryobi BT3000 for sale - What is a fair price?

    Hello group:
    I recently found a Ryobi BT3000. It had a few years neglect. I got it cleaned up fairly well in my opinion. I stripped it all the way down to the motor and cleaned the brushes. I also replaced the on/off switch. I put on new 80 tooth Dewalt blade on it and it cuts amazingly well.My question is what are these saws going for today? I can't find them on Craigslist anymore so I thought the forum might have some good insight.

    Best Regards,
    Robert

    Since these saws are far out of production and parts are either not available or quickly drying up the saw can be parted out for more than selling as a whole working unit. That said they are still a fine saw and if treated respectfully can last for years.

        I'd venture to say that a price in the $200-250 range in very good shape would probably be reasonable. As the saw is getting rather long out of production. But as with all things, prices really diverge based on condition and accessories and buyer wanting that particular model vs. the seller need to divest.

        If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.

        Thanks for the responses. I got the new rip fence in today (another $88. ) I tried Craigslist at $190 but didn't get any real interests. At this point, I will consider offers close to breaking even ($150) or just keep it.
