Exaktor EX60 -> $56

I'm sure at least one of the other two bidders is probably creeker, but i was willing to pay quite a bit more than what it sold for, so don't feel bad...

There goes some of the space i've cleaned up in the shop recently, but i think this will come in handy for the kitchen cabinets, master closet,and other built-ins i hope to do in the next few years...


this will attach to my last half-hearted announcement of my Pm66 acquisition (i don't think it was really a gloat)... Pro #2, i can drop the left hand wing i can't seem to get even with the top, Neg #2, i have to cut not only the rails but the outfeed table i just built....

Are you saying you bought one of these for $56? If so thats quite a buy. I had to look it up though because I didn't know what it was.

That's the one... Well it's used, but the claim is very lightly...


However, this may turn into a rant instead of a gloat as the seller is apparently hoping to get out of the deal after creating the auction w/o a reserve and having his brother get rather peaved that they are getting almost nothing for it...

That's too bad; I hope it turns out for you.

I won an auction for 200bf of oak for $0.99. I figured the guy would refuse to honor it, but he actually helped me load. You might still get lucky.

Part of me wants to say if they were stupid enough not to have a reserve price then they deserve what they get,

The other part says if they were that stupid you should take pity on them.

Ya we talked today and he intends to honor it... hoping to pick up tomorrow night (probably going to offer to take a biesemeyer miter saw table off his hands too for more than they wanted in the auction as a gesture even if i don't need it)
