$155.00. 14 inch Delta bandsaw 28-245 circa late 90's looks almost new with evidently, urethane tires (at least they're orange). Low useage and with all the original paperwork. 1/2 horse. Picture makes that cast iron table look rusted but it only has a couple of spots of surface rust. Unprepared for the weight, it was all the two of us could do to lift it into the truck.
The lesser gloat happened when I ask the gentleman if he had any wood for sale. Resulted in about 220 bf of cherry (60%) and walnut (40%) pictured. Not FAS lumber by any means. Air dried log run from his farm and somewhat picked over. A few wide boards most of which are split and about 12 of the cherry boards are only 4 inches wide or so. Probably 30% or more waste but $60.00 for the lot. Oh yeah, 7 gallons of gas.

Justt out of curiosity I figured the wood. At 30% waste it comes to a little less than 40 cents a foot. Add that to the bandsaw.....good haul and worth the gas. Now get busy in the shop and stop burning so much gas! :D

Nice score on the bandsaw and lumber. It will not take much at all to get that table cleaned up.
