What Is A Darex M5 Really Worth

[MozamPete]

People who use a Darex M5 seem to love them and there is no doubt that they do a good job of sharpening bits, but they do seem to cost an awful lot for a 30 year old design.
What do the guys that have them think they are really worth (i.e. if it was stolen what would you consider a reasonable price to get a replacement at?)

Whatever it costs to replace. I believe it's out of production and until you get into the 7k$+ range for a new sharpener, you will not find the same capabilities.

I paid 125.00 for a used large jig that does the 3/4 to 1 3/16 I already had the att for up to 3/4. I forget how much I paid for the att I put mine on a Dayton grinder.It does a good job .
