A couple weeks ago I saw a well loved single phase Delta Dj-20 on eBay in my area. The price was good, though not spectacular, starting bid $800 and BIN of $1200. Of course SWMBO said that was too much right now. The auction ended with no bids. So I thought what the heck, I sent a ridiculously lowball offer of $100 to the seller expecting immediate rejection. He countered at $350. That a great price, but I countered again with $300. Silence for almost two weeks.
4:30 this afternoon the seller called and said if I could be there before 5:00 it was mine for $300. I told my boss I needed off a half hour early and drove across town arriving with two minutes to spare. They loaded the Dj-20 with a forklift and I drove home very slowly. I had to get help from my neighbor and dad to unbolt the jointer from the stand and lift it out.
A little bit of steel wool and some wax and its starting to look pretty good.
