What would you consider a good price for these?
These are older as they are gray.
Is there anything I should look for (problems)?

I'd say about $200 to $275 would be good for the jointer. The planer I can't say.
I have the slightly newer version of the jointer with a more open stand. I am extremely pleased with it.

Ive seen the ridgid planers selling for 175-225. Offer 150.

I have the orange version of both of those tools and they have met or exceeded my expectations with two years of pretty heavy use. I would consider them easily worth half of new price if they are in good condition - maybe more.

Thanks everyone for your input.
I picked them both up for $400.00.
Not a steal but I feel a fair price.
Now to get the jointer down in my basement shop.
Man is that thing heavy - how does one move a 8" or more jointer? This is only a 6"...
Thank God my son-in-law is a big boy....:):):D
Hope he can help the old man out...
