Take heart, fellow WoodWorkers! The economy is NOT as bad as we have been told! There IS disposable income out there! Here's confirmation: 15" Jet Planer (no casters, rusty bed) $675 plus 10% PC Router and Jessem Lift $400 + 10% 24" Performax Sander $500 + 10% 16" Rikon Band Saw $975 + 10% 1.5 hp Jet Dust Collector $525 + 10% 1 hp Delta Dust Collectors $140 + 10% 15 gal 12 volt ATV Sprayer $120 + 10% ($125 NEW at Trac Supply) 3 hp Jet Table saw w/extension $500 and climbing when I left! Did get to meet Gotcha (Dennis) today so it was a good morning after all. (Dennis, you need to post a new avatar! That boy's lost some weight!) Hand tools were bringing near new pricing, some above new. Life is good!!

I left right after the Table Saw, too. It went to $1,000 +10%. The Jet wood lathe brought $850 + 10%. Talked with a former employee that lives near there and he said he couldn't believe locals were buying this stuff because no one much around there even had a job. I felt like prices were high too so I kept my hands in my pockets too. The big winner of the day was the auctioneer. He got a 10% buyer's premium and probably got a 10% seller's premium as well over & above ad fees.
Glad I got to meet Reggie even though we didn't drag out the camera.

Well, here's another vote for ridiculous prices there at the auction. I also left shortly after the table saw was sold; I was wondering if news of the economy hadn't reached Locust yet. I knew I was wasting my time when the mortiser went for more than new not even counting the 10% fee. I told my wife when I die to call these guys to do the auction.

Gee, you ain't kidding about disposable income! Some folks do get caught up in the fun a bit too much.

= 6.07 over 180 days | Same here...I had printed a listing of most ww items with standard retails and multiple items sold for more than average retail then added the buyers 10% premium! Bid on a few items but seems either these guys don't know prices or got caught up in the auction frenzy. I did buy a box of Incra items for half of retail but the bargains were few and FAR between. | |

I was checking eBay the other day, saw the PSI table saw dust guard listed for $199. Plus $38 shipping. Amazon has it for $149 plus free shipping.

Seems there were more NCWWs there than I recognized and obviousy more than I know personally. Perhaps next time we all need to wear North Carolina Woodworker hats or something so we don't run up prices on each other? | |

Would have been nice to meet you.

It was Valentine's Day, and I knew what I'd better NOT bring home! Wish I'd known about that hat! I kept looking at Dennis this morning (we'd never met) and had him figured for a Fed!!  It really is a nice hat!!
