I’m thinking about taking a look at this. At $750 it sounds like it might be a good deal. He claims that it’s only been used twice on very small projects. What should I look for as far as potential problems?

Thanks

Sounds like a heck of a deal. The warranty should take care of any minor issues that come up.

I have read many post on different forums about this machine. Mostly bad comments and problems. I'd be careful on this one.

Thanks guys, I’ve been conversing with him via email. He said he “got it last November” the last question was “do you have a receipt?” I haven’t got a response back yet.
I might go for it if I hear back from him. If I don’t hear back from him I’ll figure he didn’t like the receipt question and it’s probably stolen.

I agree with Richard here. The lion's share of the comments I have read regarding this machine have been quite negative. I'd recommend rethinking this.

The guy never got back to me so I'm going to blow this one off.
Thanks for the replies.
