Used angle grinders in Sheffield typically sell for £20 to £120 (about $27 to $160). Angle grinders are cheap, common and genuinely dangerous, so the guard is the whole story — never sell one with the guard removed, however common that is.
Selling an angle grinder in Sheffield
Two universities give the usual September and June cycle, and the outdoor scene adds its own: gear gets bought, used hard for a season or two and passed on when someone upgrades, which keeps a steady supply of boots, packs and tents that still have years in them.
Sheffield is genuinely hilly and that is worth planning around: a bike or a chest of drawers that looks like a short walk on a map may not be. The tram network covers the main routes, and most people arrange to meet somewhere flat near the centre.
For used climbing and outdoor gear, ask how old it is and how it was stored. Anything load-bearing has a service life regardless of how it looks, and honest sellers here will tell you without being asked.
Sheffield, in England, has around 585,000 people, which means a steady local market where the usual things move reliably and the unusual ones are worth listing with a wider radius in mind. London, Birmingham and Leeds are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

Common questions
Where can I sell an angle grinder in Sheffield?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. Sheffield is genuinely hilly and that is worth planning around: a bike or a chest of drawers that looks like a short walk on a map may not be. The tram network covers the main routes, and most people arrange to meet somewhere flat near the centre.
Does it come with the guard?
Confirm it and photograph it fitted. A guard is not an optional accessory, and a grinder sold without one is being sold for unsafe use.
