Sad day......for me - help and advice needed please.

[bluenose]

Hello folks, I have recently moved house and unfortunately I no longer have the space that I had at my previous address and so sadly, I will have to part with my table saw.
The saw is in absolutely immaculate condition and I can say that it has had no more than about 30 hours use in the time that I have had it.
The saw is a Scheppach TS2500ci model with the 1.4meter sliding table with the fine fence adjuster. The blade currently in the machine is a Scheppach 270mm 80 tooth, there is also an unused Scheppach 270mm 24 tooth blade along with an unused Trend CraftRange 250mm 60 tooth blade. There is also approximately 4 metres of 100mm hose and about the same length of 50mm hose. There is also the addtional rear take-off table attachment.

The saw was purchased from D & M tools and you can see the model here
http://www.dm-tools.co.uk/product.php/s ... S2500DEAL1
At todays prices you are probably looking at around £2000.00

Unfortunately I am unable to take a photograph of the table as it is currently in my garage surrounded by loads of other stuff.

I am wondering if any of you experienced woodworkers out there wiould be able to offer me some guidance on what sort of price would be fair to ask for this please. Many thanks in advance of any help that may be forthcoming

Sorry to hear that mate. I've always felt that around 2/3's to 3/4's of the new price is good for used equipment that has a long lifespan. Items with a known provenance should be at the higher end of that scale, especially ones with little use.

Daft as it sounds - all that can go out of the window on the Bay, where folk have been known to pay more than the item would have cost new.

Hiya Dibs, Thank you for this info, sounds good to me. If I could get those sort of pennies then I would be most pleased. I would then be able to treat myself to a smaller machine. Thanks again.

I've had a look at the machine you linked too and wonder just how much smaller say something like a Kity 419 or something would be. I don't think many of the induction powered machines are all that smaller - some are cheaper, but not smaller.

Anyways - good luck with the sale and hunt for a replacement.

p.s. Worth having a look on the Bay to see what similar saws are doing.

+1 for Dibs' advice, I sell a fair bit of stuff on the 'Bay, and it's a fairly good indicator of a fair price, but as said previously you can get more than you expected sometimes.
Make sure you word your advert concisely, from a tradesman's and a novice's point of view, and above all make sure you have clear well laid out pictures. Always include the manufacturers spec's as well. And give the original RRP - this always seems to help.

But beware that sometimes (not often at all though) things do go for well under your expected price. I.e, I was after a Scheppach TS4010, with all the trimmings. I watched 2 go for £1300+ and then I bought one for under £920 + I sorted a courier out for £50. But I've seen one go recently for something ridiculous like £700 (I think it may have even been 6 something, but can't remember the exact figure.)

Good luck. _Dan

Hi Dan, Thank you for your input, tis much appreciated. I think that I will now advertise it for sale on this forum first to see if I get any interest. If I don't get any joy I will then give it a go on eBay. Unfortunately I am not able to take any photo's of the saw as it is in my garage and it is totally surrounded and so my only course of action is to provide a link to another site for people to have a look at. I would be interested to know the details of the courier that you mentioned, just in case someone wants to make use of them. Thanks again, Regards, Geoff

There is the position of borrowing the photo's of the saw table from web sites that sell the table, from the manufacturers or from fellow memebers on here who would loan or give you the pictures, that could sort that one out, if you are left to sell it on ebay and want a minimum amount is to set a resurve on it so that no one can buy it for less than you are willing to accept or starting the bidding at the minimum you are willing to accept.
I know it might shy a few people away but only from people that are not prepared to pay a price you want and vurtually want it for nothing.
You could always lower your price a bit if at the end it does not sell and just readvertise your table saw.
Thanks and all the best.

Thanks for the info Dan. I will start preparing my advert shortly.. I am up to my eyes in digging footings in the new garden at the moment so it will probably be a few days before I get it onto the forum Thanks to everyone for their input.

Good luck. _Dan

Hi Geoff (hope I've got that right as this is my first post)
If you decide to sell your table saw on eBay, wait until one of their 'Free listing days' and make the starting price the minimum price you would be happy with. Normally, the fee ebay charges is based on the starting or reserve price but on free listing days it won't cost you a penny. You still have to pay their 'final valuation fee' but you would have to do that anyway. This way your item won't go for 'silly money'. PS Free listing days occur about once a month but there's no set schedule. And of course this assumes you aren't in a desperate hurry to sell it.
Hope that helps,

Just a thought.

For my birthday my wife bought me a Makita plunge saw. I am finding lots of uses for the plunge saw that I would ordinarily have used the table saw for. When connected to a vacuum extractor there is very little dust and will pack away better than a table saw.

Is that worth considering?

Mick

 

[bluenose]

Hi Paul, Thank you for this info. I have sold one or two things on eBay but what you have suggested has never crossed my mind, I will give that a go if I can't sell it on here. I am quite busy at the moment but I do intend to advertise it on here within the next week or so and would prefer not to use eBay if I can avoid it. I know that you have a much wider market by using eBay so if I have to use it I will. I'm not in a desperate hurry to sell. Thanks again. Geoff

I have sold tools on Gumtree. It is free to advertise and you put the price you want...no gambling etc.

Hi Mick, Thank you for this. I will do some investigating.....could be interesting. Thank you. Geoff

Thanks Derek, I will look into this. I have heard of Gumtree but have never been onto it.

Bluenose;

Sorry to hear you are having to downsize.
My problems are the same, and I live with it. I bought a Triton, maybe twelve years ago. That's about right for size in my shop. When the neighbours are at work, and the weather is okay, I can set it up outside if I need more space.

Used as an overhead saw and table saw. It's fiddly to set up. but it's robust and works fine. (Until the 'Scrappies' stole the undercarriage from outside my shop! ) MOSF of course!

Your nickname is a swear-word in my house btw! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Regards
John

 

[bluenose]

Hello John, Thank you for your response. A friend of mine has been toying with the idea of getting a Triton so if he gets it I will be able to make a decision on whether or not to get one myself. Is the motor noisy then?

(MOSF ????) sorry to appear dim!

Whereabouts are you in the big city? I moved down here in '74 from Kings Norton. Regards, Geoff (B******e)!

Hi Geoff,

the Triton uses a hand held circular saw, in guides. The make of saw you buy of course is up to you. Mine is a great Elu 9" saw, a brush motor which is a bit noisy. Out of consideration for my working neighbours, I do machining on weekdays.

MOSF (My Own Stupid Fault!) I left the undercarriage outside while i had lunch! You give those guys a chance and they take three.

I'm in Great Barr BTW. Would love to see Devon again myself, but these days only as a Grockle!

All the best with your search for a good small saw.

Oh, and of course I am a "Villain".

Regards
John
