Benchtop Drill Press

What would a used Delta DP200 Shopmaster 10-Inch Drill Press be worth. Here's a pic from Amazon:

It's two years old but only used four or five times.

Seems worth moving to the classifieds forum to me....

but I suspect you know that.

I once had an 8" benchtop that I sold at a tool swap ... i think i got about 35 bucks for it, but it wasn't a name brand and it wasn't the greatest. I personally try to figure 50-75% of retail on stuff like that.

I usually figure 1/2 of what it cost new.

(hope I don't get in trouble for the reply) ;)

I'm pretty sure that would violate the TOS since I'm not offering it for sale right now. Need to determine how much it's worth first.

but I suspect you knew that.

Thanks Jason & Ken. I looked on Amazon & they don't have a price listed since it's unavailable. Was hoping to get some feedback here.

So, $35 for a DP that was not a name brand and not the greatest? How's $75 sound for one that IS a name brand & IS the greatest?

[Jason Beam]

How much do you figure you paid for it when new? I think i see that one going for about $130-150 at my local toystore - but i can't say i've hunted for this particular model. $75 sounds like a perfectly fair starting point, maybe with a little wiggle room?

I picked up a generic one on craigslist for $25

I bought one of those at a yard sale a year or so ago - paid $40 for it, but it was well used and didn't have the light. Works fine and I haven't regretted it, although I wouldn't have paid $75. I just got a nice floor model 15", with light, for $100 off craigslist, so $75 is a bit high, IMO.

Looks like it went for $99 new: http://www.epinions.com/reviews/Delta_Shopmaster_Bench_Top_Drill_Press_DP200
There was one listed on CL in Little Rock for $50.
And there's one in Boston for $75.

Thanks for the link Jim but I don't see the price.

EDIT: Never mind. I see it now in one of the comments.

[Jim Mims]

Glad you found the price. It also sounded like the two reviewers liked it!

I sold mine with a custom built t-track table and fence on a cabinet with pullouts behind a euro hinged door for $100. HTH.

I had one that I sold for $50.
