I just had to gloat!!!!:D :D :D I am the happiest guy in the world. I'll start from this morning. I drove 4 hrs today to pick up my new/used G0555 bandsaw. When i got there i thought it was brand new. I think i asked the previous:D owner if he ever used it about 5 times. He told me he used it 4 times then he moved into an apartment and then he decided to sell it for $350. Thats right $350. So i got a basically new G0555 with a riser setup, shop fox mobile base, 4- 1/2 blades. I am stoked! Then i get home and on ebay i found a grizzly 8" jointer (G1018HW) that looks great. Emailed him and he said got out of the woodworking business cause he got sick and the jointer is about 1 year old but it is in perfect condition. I won the auction. I won it for $406. It was $765 new. WOW. I am getting deals everywhere. I think i am going to Vegas next;) . I will post pics when i pick up jointer either wed or thurs.

Sounds like an instant shop upgrade in a big way, Josh. Congrats on both deals (steals). I would have jumped on either or both deals if I was in your shoes.

I would think a full shop would have something to take pictures of..... Even the smile on your face.
This is an official non gloat with penalties:mad: . You are now on double secret probation!!!!!
Only a half hearted congrats John till you finish your home work.:D
