rdatelle Posted July 8, 2020 Report Posted July 8, 2020 Hi everyone. I'm thinking about selling my DeWalt 788 Type 2. Just wondering how much I could get for it. Runs great, hardly used. I also built a stand for it. Any suggestions would help. Thanks, Ralph. OCtoolguy 1 Quote
amazingkevin Posted July 8, 2020 Report Posted July 8, 2020 Not knowing anything about it $350 would be tops in my book And that's just for the saw without your fabulous stand!!! I love the DW's.And speaking of DW's where has our member DW been, the bowl maker? OCtoolguy and rdatelle 2 Quote
NC Scroller Posted July 8, 2020 Report Posted July 8, 2020 I agree with Kevin. Ask $350 if it is mint. OCtoolguy and rdatelle 2 Quote
Fish Posted July 9, 2020 Report Posted July 9, 2020 Definitely worth that much. I wouldn’t go lower. rdatelle and OCtoolguy 2 Quote

OCtoolguy Posted July 9, 2020 Report Posted July 9, 2020 I sold my rebuilt type 1 with the stand I made for it to a young lady for $325. I started at $350. It was a very good saw. Your price with your stand would be in the $350-400 range. At least around where I live. rdatelle 1 Quote
kmmcrafts Posted July 9, 2020 Report Posted July 9, 2020 I sold mine for $200 along with $200 worth of bearings and sleeves etc to rebuild it, LOL It was on the factory stand and I keep my tools clean waxed.. it looked new.. but I ran it hard for 11-12 years.. rebuilt it once and needed it again when I sold it.. even throw in the foot switch the Jim Dandy easy lift and some other odds and ends.. I would have sold it for more but my sons best friend bought it and I was thrilled that he had interest in trying to saw.. I also sold it with the option of getting first dibs on it if he should decide to sell it. He's been using it " hobbyist " for 2 years now and never has rebuilt it yet, LOL OCtoolguy, rdatelle and amazingkevin 2 1 Quote
Bill WIlson Posted July 9, 2020 Report Posted July 9, 2020 I think location plays a big part in the pricing. I sold mine for $200 a few years ago. It was 10-12 years old, but in very good condition. It wasn't used as a production saw and never exhibited any of the problems that seemed to be common in Dewalts. I don't know if I could have gotten $350. I sold it to a member of my wife's extended family, so I wasn't trying to get top dollar for it. Both parties were satisfied with the transaction. kmmcrafts, rdatelle, OCtoolguy and 1 other 4 Quote
rdatelle Posted July 9, 2020 Author Report Posted July 9, 2020 Thanks everyone for all the advice. I was also thinking around $400. I can always go down to $350.00 I'll let you all know what happens. Thanks again. amazingkevin and OCtoolguy 1 1 Quote
rdatelle Posted July 11, 2020 Author Report Posted July 11, 2020 (edited) Well good news. I sold my DeWalt 788 for $350. I was asking $400 but the guy that's buying it is coming over 100 miles away so I told him he could have it for $350. He got a good deal with the stand and all.

puzzleman Posted July 11, 2020 Report Posted July 11, 2020 Yes, you did get a good deal! Especially since one cne buy a brand new Delta for $350 at Home Depot. I have one of those Delta's and almost identical to the DeWalt BUT with a 5 year warranty! Why did you sell? What are you using now? bb OCtoolguy and rdatelle 1 1 Quote
