Used Dewalt DW735 Planer

[Ben Hutchinson]

A 2004 DW735 planer popped up on Craigslist for $260. It seems to be in decent condition, and pictures look like it wasn't abused. Seller doesn't know exactly everything about it since it was his late father's. Did this seem live a fair price for being 15+ years old? TIA

When thickness planers get down to that price, it's probably already gone. If not go see it, run it, and then make the decision.

I'd get over there quickly with some cash in my pocket. If it looks good, it'll be gone in a hurry at that price.

Even if it needs some repairs I say its worth a try.
Even a broken 735 would be better then anything from Horrible Freight who sells tools and machinery worth zero new.
Good Luck

I payed 400 for mine used to yes! I'm my local there were going between 400-500 used.

Seems a light on price but the owner might not really know. I put my 734 on sale here for I think 250 (helping other members) but if i don't get a bite in a few more days it goes on marketplace and craigstlist for a bit more, maybe 300 or so.

So that price is great for one that's been lightly used / well cared for. Not so good for one that's been trucked around from worksite to worksite and used in a commercial setting.
