Good price for used Festool vacuum?

[Ellen Benkin]

Someone offered to sell me a "slightly used" Festool Midi Dust Extractor. Assuming that it is in "almost new" condition, what would be a good price to offer? Retail new it is sold for $465.

im not an expert on us prices but usually used festool goes for around 60-70% for good and up to 85% for practically new.
check to see if it is the newer model that is hepa approved and approved for lead work. if it is then it is newer (only 6 months ish old) but more importantly it would have a stronger motor moving more air.

if its the new model and practically new then i would offer 70% and see what they say but be prepared to go to 85%. any more than that and i would buy new.

I don't know if there are dust extractors available, but remember you can get "reconditioned" Festool stuff anywhere from 10-30% off right now. Inventory is hit or miss, but I would factor that into the decision.

Recon sale ended last Friday.

I've bought 3 CT22's in the past year used and resold one those a few month after since it arrived in a condition that was not as described. Prices were all $200-250.

I don't offer more than 50% on used gear. If I wanted to offer more I would get a new one or a reconditioned one with the warranty.
