I am going to put my 18" Covington saw on the local Craigslist and try to sell it. It works perfectly, at least as well as it is capable of working. It has a near-new MK303 blade. Any idea what I should ask for it? I am the second owner, saw was made in the 60's.

I can't give you a number, just a suggestion.
If you aren't in a big hurry to move it, start high!
Folks on craigslist like to haggle, so high will give you room to negotiate. Starting at the price you actually want gives you no cushion to go lower other than less than what you want.
If high doesn't sell given some time, you can always lower the price in steps.
If you are in an area where there isn't much lapidary equipment offered, that's a benefit too.
"Rock Saw" on craigslist usually brings up guitars in my searches. Use many words related to the hobby to cover words that folks may search for. "Lapidary" is a must use word. Maybe folks can other suggestions on key words for you to use.

^ You STOLE yours!  What would you now sell it for with a "near-new MK303 blade"? |

Many saws abound locally. |
