I bought a Ridgid model 14002 BS off of CL for $175.

The price was not a steal, but fair, hence the thread title. I looked it over and turned it on to find the original owner did the work of balancing the wheels and replacing the tires. Came with a new blade too. To add a nice blade will have gotten me a hardly used, 14" bandsaw for around $200.

It had apparently been used as a cup holder at one point, as the table had a few rings. And there is a curious splatter of dried blood down the front :eek: to clean off. I had bought a Delta 9" 6 months ago off of CL for $30 (very gloat worthy IMO), and since realizing the usefulness on the BS in my shop I have been looking the last 4 months or so for a 14", which are rare on CL in my area it seems.

Anyway, Thanks for reading!

Hmm...... blood down the front.

Could be the reason for the discounted price.

Bet SWMBO pulled the plug on that one after hubby came in for a band-aid

Cool - What city/CL list to you follow? I got a very nice 6" jointer and a like new surface planer for around $200 each - But you have to follow it by the hour seems to catch these deals...

I search Jacksonville and most of NE Florida on CL... It is something you have to stay on top of to get in on a good deal, things go quick!
