I have that little Rikon belt sander. It's pretty handy for small jobs.
I took a look at the prices of these and here’s what I found. I looked at the lowest new price and didn’t include shipping. Suggestions for sale prices are based on what I see used going for on FB Marketpace and Craigs list. I say “starting at” because that’s what I think might be top dollar. Usually people will offer less and you can settle on something in between. If someone has RECENTLY sold similar items, please chime in with your suggestions.
I would hold pretty firm on all the items except the drill press. All the other items are very new, decent brands and fairly desirable. I would list these items in this forum initially as there is a much higher chance that you can find a credible buyer who is trustworthy. Since you are new to the forum you can’t start a personal conversation, but someone who has been on the site for over 30 days can PM you and you can respond.
If you use FB Marketplace, post 3-6 pictures of each item. Try to include a picture of the serial on model number tag. List each item separately. I know it’s tempting to bundle everything, but you probably won’t get a much that way. Be prepared for scammers. They typically will try to get your phone number, so if they ask for it, chances are they are a scammer. Also look at each person’s profile, if they just joined Face book recently, they might be a scammer.
Drill Press (Black Bull 16 speed). New $400-$500. Suggest starting $275 but may only be able to get $200.
Thickness planer (DeWalt DW734). New $530. Suggest starting at $325.
Rikon belt sander 50-151, 1” x 30” with 5” disk. New $143. Start at $125.
Rikon 10” bandsaw 10-305 with stand and blades. New $400 bandsaw, $40-60 stand, $28 each blades. Start at $350-375 for bandsaw, stand & blades together.
Hope this helps.

The rule of thumb I used for purchasing used tools is 50-60% of the cost of buying new with allowances one way or the other for age and condition. As these are essentially new I would advertise these tools at 75% of their retail price. Not the MSRP, but the price they actually sell for in stores.
