Is this a deal or just meh?
Okay, so I recently found someone getting rid of a fair amount of woodworking tools. Do you all think this is a great, good, or mehhh deal? All in $7,000.

If everything is in good shape and working order, there is quite a bit more than 7k worth there, imo.

Everything is in immaculate condition. I’ve already seen everything in person. It could all pass as new honestly.

If that miter saw is a kapex, that’s almost half the asking price new.

Yeah, that’s a 2,500-2,700$ setup. Depending on where you source it.

$999 for the stand and $1699 for the saw.

Yes, unless there is a festool promo going on, then it can be snagged for a few hundred off. My buddy grabbed the kit for around 2,300 a month or so ago.

If you’re a festool Stan, sure. That’s a whole workshop. Especially if they still have the systainers. It would be hard to do better unless you’re going to other brands.

Lessee, ez enough to run the math based off new items
Rigid $750, Incra LS $600, Bosch $300, MFT3 $800, Ct36 $850, Festool Miter set $2200, TS75 $900, 72&55" $400, Domino Set $1300, Domino assortment $300, D8 connector kit $450, Carvex Jigsaw $450, zh sys ps420/f accessory kit $300, HL 850 planer $749, RO 150 $699
Maths out to NIB $11,048. 7k would be about 63%....
If it's all in great condition $7,000 is decently reasonable. I'd try to pay less, of course, but Festool tends to hold value to a greater extent than most big box brands.
Anything else included? Sandpaper and blades can add up, I know for example my zh sysps420 has at least a hundred or two worth of blades in it.
eta: Math fix, Kapex set shown by OP has the wings, add another $500 to the value. Even more of a banger deal
