that has always been a difficult subject even down here in NZ
It nearly always nowadays [unless there has been a resurgence in your
area] means it's a buyers market. If the buyer wants they can pick up
things for song.
Is the item rare or not many ever made? which can also lead in the
direction it was a excellent tool but it was too expensive to re-produce
in large quantities OR it's a lemon.
If you can buy a similar or same model how much is a new one? And are
they readily available
Are you able to check out what similar/same models are selling
secondhand? Why are people selling them?
If they are not in the rare/no longer made category the same questions I
have posed above.
Can you get spare parts if something is worn? or needs replacing?
This probably not helping you one iota but it's a starting guideline for
coming to the final money changing hands. Is it possible to try before
you buy also, because just because it's nice to work with for the seller
many tools are made for a mass sized person and you might not be able to
do something easily which makes it more difficult when you think later
"why did I buy this?"
