Was nosing around on Craigslist and found this thought it was interesting.

Whoever posted it speaks the truth...I guess the challenge is how many of the $1,000+ posters will read his posting first, much less then follow his advice.

Thanks I thought it was appropriate since retiring. I don't think I will ever get done. :D :D

The 500 and 510 actual selling prices here in Florida are lower. Not many are selling these days but I still track the listings. I missed a super 510 buy on Craig's List in Dec or it was a come-on as the seller would never reply to me, no phone number. It was a like new 2002 510 with 4 SPTs for $500. I was a day late responding. I will still buy this type of deal at this price.

There's a guy north Texas that has been trying to sell a 520 for $8,000 for months. Nice clean machine, but overpriced in my opinion.

I agree with Bill. I think the prices given for a 500 and 510 are still a bit high. Condition matters a lot too. Most of the 500s I see are incomplete and in bad shape and I wouldn't value more than $100.

Guess I overpaid for a jointer on eBay?

I looked at completed auctions and they were averaging 165 so I bid 166.20 and won at 164.

Just finished assembling it and ran a scrap piece of hardwood through it from a shipping pallet.

It had the dust chute and new safety feather guard and no rust.

Did I get a fair deal? This craigslist post suggests not.

I think you got a good deal. Most have rust problems and are the older style.
