How much should be expected to pay for a Bedrock 606, fine shape,90-95% japanning, new Spehar Blade, and an included antique jointer fence? I'm thinking of selling.

Flat side or round side? Flat sides generally go for more.

Without specifics (type, photos, etc) the plane alone (w/original iron) should sell (to a friend) for at least $100. On ebay, you might get $150 or perhaps a bit more on a good day. Depends on how many similar planes are on the block, who is bidding, how bad they want it and the alignment of the planets.

The aftermarket iron will add some value to the user, but much less to a collector. You should consider throwing in the original iron as well.

You didnt specify the make of the fence. A Stanley 386 will go for at least $100-120 in good shape. The Goodell Pratt or MF patterns for at least $50-60...the Stearns pattern somewhere in the middle. Again, condition is everything and "demand" ebbs and flows for these things.

If you list on ebay, you might get more by listing the fence separately.

This just to give you an idea of pricing. At auction, anything can happen.

Well, if I remember correct, the jointer fence is an EC Stearns. Would $200 be out of line to ask?
