Kapex on Craigslist

http://raleigh.craigslist.org/tls/850571512.html

Not a out of this world price, but you'll avoid tax and save a couple bucks ... any takers?

NOT MINE

Re: Kapex on Craigslist

Jeremy:

This is at least the second listing of this item. A bit overpriced to me, but I already own one. Someday I might even use it. maybe when I get from overseas next week.

Tim,

You could also probably buy a new Bandsaw.

Re: Kapex on Craigslist

Hey, I never said it was cheap. The Kapex is the most over priced miter saw on the market ... but it's from Festool, it must be nice!

I think I 'used' one should go for around $900-$1000, so this one isn't really a good price ... but it's there.

Re: Kapex on Craigslist

I totally agree, they are VERY NICE, but very expensive. As commented, the price is ok, not great, but for the most part, Festool stuff holds its value very very well.

I wouldn't mind having one, and will probably get one at some point , I just can't do it now.

LOML reminded me today of what all I had bought this year.
