Used circular saws in San Diego typically sell for $40 to $240. A circular saw sells on power, blade size and one non-negotiable: the lower blade guard must spring back closed on its own, every time.
Selling a circular saw in San Diego
San Diego combines a large naval presence with a beach and outdoor culture and near-constant good weather. Surf and water gear, bikes and camping equipment all move steadily, and none of it has to be stored for a winter.
Naval rotations move households in and out on a predictable rhythm, and departing families routinely sell a whole home’s worth of goods rather than ship it. The surf market runs on its own upgrade cycle year-round.
Collection is by car and the freeways make most of the county reachable, though coastal parking in summer is genuinely difficult. Naming a specific meeting point rather than a neighbourhood saves a lot of circling.
Salt air is hard on metal. Check bolts, bearings and hardware on anything that lived near the coast, and on a used board ask about repairs rather than only about dings.
Handing it over in San Diego
USPS, UPS and FedEx all cover the country. USPS Ground Advantage is normally cheapest for anything under a few pounds in weight; above that the gap narrows quickly.

Heavy and awkward. Remove the blade or ensure the guard is secured for transport, and box it properly — an exposed blade in a parcel is dangerous to whoever handles it.
