Not mine, etc.

Powermatic planer - $2500 (South Chesterfield)

16" planer, 3ph

Looks to be nicely restored.

Waaaay overpriced!

$250 for a phase converter...............

Restored. New Baldor motor. I think it's fairly valued.

Compared to what?

You can buy a new planer for that money or less.

You're advertising on a site for ww’ers, not Craigslist.

Don't know this particular unit but it is kinda older .. There are many 3hp 15" or 20" units out there that are 2k-ish, might consider looking at what else is out there and then price accordingly.

That's about what I paid for my 18" planer in 1996 and it was in a barn and couldn't be demonstrated.
The advertised planer doesn't have quick adjustable bed rollers. That's a deficit. No dust hood either.
That is an industrial/commercial grade machine not intended for the home hobbyist but where else would a seller list?
If the "horsepower" numbers are a good standard, then get a Rigid 6 horsepower motor vacuum cleaner from Home Depot and fit that motor to it. The tag says six horsepower, right? What could go wrong?
