I'm in the process of listing all my Festools.  I had a stroke 2 years ago and am not going to be able to start using my tools again so it's time to sell.  I've got a lot of good stuff, CMD tables and Kapex with UG stand and extensions.  I can't ship with only one arm working so what do you guys suggest for a sales method?  The general public has no clue on it's worth and want it for .50.
 
My first thought would be how fast do you need or want to sell?
If its just a matter of selling over time to clear out your tools you could list here or other wood working websites. Some guys may be near you or even drive to you. Your name says in Iowa. I don't need any tools right now but if I did Iowa wouldn't be a bad drive for a bunch of stuff. You could also let contractors or supply houses locally know you have tools for sale.
If you can get about I would suggest calling around and letting people know you have tools for sale. Call your local hardwood lumber guys, rockler whatever is in your area.
If this is a question of selling quickly to get some money in you may have to do a package deal and/or take a hit on pricing.
I've bought and sold a lot of tools over the years. Sometimes you list items and they go immediately, sometimes it takes a while.
Others probably have more helpful info but that's my take.
Good luck
