I am upgrading and need to sell my PM model 60 jointer. I bought it new in 1990. About 8 years ago I upgraded to a Tersa style cutterhead, and then a few months ago to a Byrd head. I have all three heads and one jointer. I am struggling with how to best configure it to sell. I think the real question is should I keep the Byrd in and sell or put the original in and then sell the Byrd separately. The Byrd is $425 new from Holbren. The Tersa style is around $300, not sure what it's worth resale. The original head, not sure it's worth much today, although the condition is perfect.
One logic is that many buyers would prefer the Byrd installed as they won't have to install, and it's a popular option today.
The other logic is that the jointer with stock head is worth $600 - $800, and the Byrd alone is $250-300. Selling separate will max revenue.
Thoughts? The jointer is a gold PM bought new by me in 1990 and only used in my hobby shop. Excellent condition. Please don't suggest prices, I will price to sell quick in the Phoenix Craig's list market.
I am leaning towards putting the original head in and selling on Craig's list, and then selling the head on EBAY? Thoughts? If' the delta is less than $100 I may just sell with the Byrd in as that's how it sits today.
