Hi All,
This is my first post here as I just registered. However, I've been reading the forums for months to help me determine values of Unisaws specifically. I am in the market for a new one and have seen a lot of people get helped out on this forum to determine if it was fair deal. Now I have one in my sights and was hoping to get some feedback on it. Here is the craigslist link.

It looks like a pretty clean machine. I have a good idea of what to look for when I go to see it tomorrow. My concern is price. I have done a lot of reading and it seems like a basic saw in that range, without all the extras should be in the 800-1000 range, correct me if I am wrong. So I guess, how much do the extras add like the Incra fence and crosscut jig, outfield, mobile base, add? He still has the original fence (unifence) as well.
I should mention I've already negotiated to $1200 but it doesn't seem like he will go lower than that. Is this a good/fair deal or should I wait for something better? I've been watching craiglist for a while and there have been some that have been for sale in the Chicago area and haven't sold in the $1200 range that are very similar to this saw minus the Incra add ons.
I appreciate any advise/input the collective can give me.
Thanks,
Mike
