Saw an online ad Friday evening for a jointer in a nearby town, he had a Jet Planer, Parks bandsaw and performax sander also. He emailed back and said everyone show up at 10 am so I figured he was going to try to get us to bid against each other and raise the prices which he did a little.
I was most interested in the jointer and planer. When we got there the first guy to find the planer in the mess sat on it and said I'll take it, same with the band saw. The guy had some welders and there was some bidding on those but no one seemed interested in the old 6 inch WT jointer.
Initially he was asking $150 but when no one asked him about it I walked up and said $100 and he paused for a moment and said ok. So I brought it home. It came out of the local school system but seems in very good shape. I'm going to take it apart and go through it and fix her up.
