Thank-you for the heads up on the price drops. They are quite substantial, I
am disappointed in Delta for doing that. Can you give me an idea what an
Anniversary Edition (white) 10" Cabinet saw with Biesemeyer fence and mobile
base might be worth (very little use - not a scratch on it)?

Hello there,
My apologies for not specifying currency. Prices are in CDN funds. I
have
not been to a "wood show" in some time and I don't recall that being
criteria for pricing items but if this is the case, again I apologize.
If
I
may, can I ask if the price of $1500 NIB is CDN? And does that price
include
mag switch and rolling base? I only ask since the switch and base were
options I purchased above and beyond the actual DJ-20 price, almost $300
at
the time. I would consider any fair price if there is anyone out there
that
is actually "interested" in buying a DJ-20. Other than that thank-you
all
for your insight and helpfulness in this matter.
Yes, as low as $1450 CDN at the Woodstock woodshow a few weeks ago. The
new
X5 series DJ-20 is around $1750 CDN with a free router or mobile base.
Delta
usually only carries the 37-350-671 here in Canada, (-671 meaning mag
starter), the -670 manual starter version is uncommon as is the -672 24v
LVC
version. In Ontario, from Aug-Mar, there is a wood show within a few hours
drive almost every month. X5 DJ-20's sell for less than dealers used to
*buy* regular DJ-20's for. With King importing a very similar machine,
Delta
is out to make a point, telling King to stay away from it's machines and
Delta dropped the price big time.
Two years ago, we used to sell them for $2399 CDN, that price point is
long
gone.
Really, I am not trying to give you a hard time. If you can sell it for
that
price more power to you. I was just alerting you to the fact that the
price
has plummeted in the last year or two on DJ-20's and you are not likely to
get any takers at that asking price.
Thanks,
