Can anyone give me a value on this drill press. My wife's grandfather moved to an assisted living facility, and they had an estate sale. My mother in law almost sold it for $65, but someone that was there said it was worth a lot more.

Google wasnt much help other than I did find it is called a Camelback drill press. So what do you think a good asking price would be?

It all turns freely, and stands around 3 feet tall.

I have not ruled out buying it for myself but want to know its value first.

Thanks in advance.

It does look in good shape, here is three place you could check with I know they buy and sell old equipment.

http://www.greenwayassoc.com/

I guess personally I would pay about 200 if everything works.

That is one heck of a drill, old tools like that are the best to my eyes. I hope you clean it up and keep it to use.

Was that what one got on Ebay or what they were asking- big difference. Shipping alone could be 65 plus.
