    When you need it, priceless!

    Seriously, depending on the condition, $150-$200. Check the condition of the knives by dragging a kleenex down them. (Don't use your finger!) Any bad spot will catch the kleenex. Does it have the dust hood attached? Extra set of knives?

        If the hood isn't available online, I would walk away. I ran mine without the hood/DC when I first got it. Not a good idea.

        Did a quick check online. It is the same hood on the later model 734 adn lists around $40. A link to plumbersurplus.com showed it for $29.47. Offer $125 since 'it is going to cost $50.00 with shipping to get dust/chip collection set up'. I would easily go $150 if he doesn't take the first offer.

          Just FYI, a DeWalt DW733 recently sold through the Houston Craigslist NIB for $150.00, including the hood.

            There's a guy in my area selling one for $225 on CL in what looks to be good condition. However, he hasn't sold it in a few weeks. So Pappy's advice is probably spot on for pricing one that doesn't have the dust hood.

              Just got one for $160 with hood and extra set of knives. Haven't done a lot of planing but seems to do well for a hobbiest.
