What's the Resale Value of a Like-New Milwaukee 5625 Router?

[scott spencer]

Howdy folks. I've been thinking about thinning the herd a bit, and selling my least used router. I just don't see those kitchen cabinets anywhere on the horizon, so maybe I can do something else with the funds. It's the big Milwaukee 5625 workhorse, and aside from some testing in the table, it's only been used for one project....I don't think the stock router plate has ever been used. I haven't been keeping up with market prices lately, so my question for you is "what's it worth"?

this is only me....I never pay more than 50% for used tools...only because once you buy it.....you cant return it if it fails the next day....even if it looks new....but thats only me.
btw...I own the same router

That router has some magic words on the label "assembled in USA". To me that makes it more desirable than the current versions available which I think are of Asian origin. I have one in my router table and love it. I guess I think it's worth more than the 50% rule (which is typically my guideline) and will make a nice addition for someone to their shop.

The best words would be "made in USA". "Assembled in USA" means the parts were made in Asia or another offshore location.
