Gentleman is asking $600, but I know he will go down.
Anyone have any pros or cons on this unit?

It's a generic, four post, 15" planer, imported by MANY different vendors. That being said, LOBO is no longer with us, so any parts would have to be sourced from others. I would be more inclined to go $350 -$450 at max.

My feelings exactly.
He has already come down to $500 when I told him that Southern Machinery now sells it for $999. He paid $1499
I am not going over $400.
It does come with 2 extra sets of blades. So that does sweeten the pot a little.
