Second-hand tools & DIY in Gilbert typically sells for $20 to $675. Brand and whether it is corded or battery decide most of it. Battery tools are worth far more when the batteries are healthy and worth surprisingly little when they are not.
Buying tools & DIY in Gilbert
Gilbert grew from a farming town into one of the fastest-growing municipalities in the country within a generation, and it is master-planned, modern and almost entirely suburban. It sits in the desert south-east of the state capital.
Tools are heavy, valuable for their size and awkward to post, so almost all of the second-hand trade in them is local. Buyers also want to hear a motor run before they hand over money, which settles the question immediately.
What to check in person
Run anything with a motor for a few seconds and listen for bearing noise or a burning smell. Check the cable along its whole length for nicks and repairs, look at the chuck or blade mount for play, and ask whether the battery still holds charge.
Collecting it in Gilbert
It needs a car boot rather than a bag, so agree somewhere you can actually stop for a few minutes. That is easier away from the centre than in it.
The town is laid out on a grid for driving with generous parking, so anything large is straightforward. Extreme summer heat makes an early morning slot sensible.

List every bit, blade, case and charger that is included, and say plainly what is missing. Be honest about a worn chuck, a tired battery or a repair, and make sure guards and safety fittings are in place before you hand anything over. Busiest through spring and summer, when outdoor and building work picks up.
Peer-to-peer payment apps dominate private sales, and buyers will usually offer one before they offer cash. Sales tax does not apply to a private sale between individuals.
