I won this thing brand new in a box from a local Makita dealer. I could see myself using it maybe one time for some sort of work on the car but this thing has way more power and capability than I need. I haven't been able to move it on Facebook or Craigslist. Anyone have thoughts on what I should do with this thing? My next thought is asking some local Jeep shops if they'll trade it for work+parts but I doubt that will work.

I have had similar items from Milwaukee NIB and I just Ebay them. Price it at about 60% retail with free shipping, it will eventually move and sell.

Here's why you can't move it .
50% more power for nearly half the price.

Oh wow. Wonder if the one I won is just old tech and new tech just outpowers it? Why would Makita be so much more expensive? I'm a Dewalt user because they are regularly on sale and I just buy things when they are on sale. Dewalt is a fantastic price when on sale.

This is probably my best bet. I'd gladly take 60% but ebay fees suck.

I did notice that your kit includes two batteries, but it's still not making up the full difference.
I bought that DeWalt a while back because my pneumatic wouldn't budge the blade bolts on my zero turn after I buzzed down some stumps and roots on my ATV trails. ?

The DeWalt saved the day. ?
