   ECBNTMKR,

   When considering used machinery, I look at half the new price as a starting point for a functional, unabused machine and might go up to 2/3 if the condition is excellent, manuals included, extras, etc.  Grizzly may go a bit cheaper percentage wise than "big name" brands but not much.  My 2cw--hope it helps.

   Regards,

   Mack

   Macks comments are "right on" in terms of my observation of the sale of used equipment. If you watch the classified ads in your local paper ( the best part of our paper) the stuff that is listed at 50% of new goes in a heartbeat if it is in good shape. The stuff listed at 75% of new, never sells. Makes sense because why would one pay almost new prices for used; might as well buy new and get the warranty, etc.

   Grizzly sells their new, just no box stuff in their scratch and dent tent sales for about 15-20% off to give you an idea of value.  I agree with the previous posters in saying start with 50% and go up or down based on condition and extras.
