Used angle grinders in Madison typically sell for $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 Madison
The university clears student housing each May and the student districts are dense enough that the turnover is visible. Bikes and winter equipment both move on strong seasonal cycles.
The isthmus means there are limited routes between the two sides of the city and they congest, so agree a realistic window. Cycling is genuinely practical here for anything portable.
On a used bike, ask about the frame and the bottom bracket rather than the paint. Bikes here do genuine year-round mileage including winter salt, and the wear is in the bearings.
Madison, in Wisconsin, has around 270,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Milwaukee, New York and Los Angeles are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Madison
The US resale market is enormous and highly local — most transactions still happen between people within driving distance of each other, and buyers expect to collect rather than wait for a courier.

Brand, disc size and power: “Bosch 115mm Angle Grinder, 900W, with Guard and Handle”. Disc diameter is the search — 115mm, 125mm and 230mm are quite different tools. Say whether the guard and side handle are present, because a grinder missing either is worth much less.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
