I saw an ad on CL for a $200 Unisaw yesterday. I emailed the seller right away and told him I'd pick it up after the kids went to bed, which was the earliest I could possibly go. About 2 hours before I was going to leave he texted me to say he sold it bc he needed it gone asap. I asked him if 2 hours really mattered that much and he didn't reply.
It wasn't the best Unisaw by any means, but it would have been a fun project to clean up and flip. It was a Rockwell branded, 1.5 hp 1 phase, one wing, Beis looking fence. If it was a bullet motor war time saw, it would have been a tougher pill to swallow!
Oh well, I know the early bird gets the worm and all, but I hoped he'd be a stand up guy and hold it for the first person who said they'd take it. I've been in his position before and have held the item, but I guess I expect too much from people.
I'm sure a lot of you have had the same thing happen.
