Craftsman/Bosch 1618 and PC690 questions

[LinuxRandal]

How much should I ask for a used pc690? I was going to give it to my father (post: A good problem to have), but I was over there the other night, and saw ALL KINDS of bushings and other goodies, that he bought over the years for various projects, all for his Craftsman 1970 router (3/4 HP I think). I stopped at the CC sale today, and said WTH, it's dad. So I bought the Craftsman one (second question, told it had a different plate, hoping it's the standard Craftsman pattern).

Supposed to be my day off, but I have been running for work. Now back home and got a call, and gotta run again.
No time to play today.

thats a tough question.
How used?
How many bases? Just the fixed base?
Both collets?
How old is it - they've been making a number of improvements in the last 3 years to try and keep up with Bosch and ride that famous model number a little longer even with the new 89x series. The newest ones have the lever release (instead of thumbscrew) and a rocker switch (instead of the old toggle switch) I think.

Up to date 690 LR with fixed base goes for $120-$140 according to Froogle. The bargain hunter will start at $120 for new. Take off 33% for being used.
Subtract for age, use and lack of the latest features, add back some for being a "Industry standard Porter Cable 690 Router" (I think the names worth something). I'd guess $80-85 if not the latest but in pretty good shape and then subtract from there for wear and tear and missing parts.
