Man... $7K for a LAWNMOWER? *heck, the Fabulous BeaterPorsche didn't cost
that much money, and it got me to work and back every day for years.
(now in semi-retirement as I have a company car.) *I don't think I've
ever paid that much for anything in my life, save for one new car and my
house.

Oh, and if you count up parts, labor, etc. I've probably got more than
that in my project car. *But I don't like to think about that.

I need a lawnmower, I look to Craigslist. *It's just a lawnmower.

Am I a cheap *******?

Yes you are. *Do not get the used stuff, buy new and help the economy..
Just kidding...

I have done the same myself in the past. *Bought a $ 500 truck as an extra
vehicle (wanted a truck, but had 2 cars). *Kept the last car from 1991 to
2007. *In my case it is a ballance of what I need and what I want. *That
car got me to work and back and I did have another car with low milage to
take on trips. *I have several hobbies that can cost *a good bit and I
don't need the $ 7K law mower to show off with. *Some people just don't
have anything beter to spend money on and want to show off.

Yea , you see that right on here....Somebody asks for advice on a tablesaw
for "occasional" homeowner use and some guys ALWAYS use the occasion to brag
about their 800 dollar top of the line saw and belittle those who recommend
a cheap Craftsman or Ryobi or a used one...To some "mine is bigger than
yours" is important...I think it is to make up for other
"shortcomings"...LOL....

well, I probably would search out a contractor-grade table saw...
USED...

I loves me some good tools.

Same as my car choices... would rather drive a 20 year old Porsche
than a new Hyundai. Some people may prefer something with a
warranty. Diff'rent strokes...
