$1300 for a Unisaw, I'll take 2 at that price. Try living in Australia

Yeah, I guess $1300 wouldn't be too bad for a transmogrifying Unisaur.
As for living in Australia.......BITE ME!!

Wow - I think I'm starting to wig out a little bit. Last night I had
an extremely vivid dream that I had just purchased a Unisaw for $1300.
I was making some test cuts on it - specifically to see if the fence
tape was accurate, and had just finished making some sawdust when I
happened to look down at the base. What's this - rust? Egads! Some
further investigation revealed that my "brand new $1300 Unisaw with 50
inch Biesemeyer" had mysteriously morphed into a gigantic rusted out
hulk of a saw that was made in 1971, (per the newly discovered writing
on the side of it.) It didn't even resemble a Unisaw at that point,
and man was I bummed that I had somehow purchased a 32yo saw at just a
few hundred less than I could have purchased a brand new one!

But, the fact remained ("fact" - har!) that the saw cut *perfectly*,
in spite of the rust. Is there a lesson buried here? Do I really
just want a new saw b/c it looks good? Is $1300 really too much to
spend on used Unisaw? Should I start drinking before I go to bed?
Strange....and just *a little* disturbing - albeit entertaining to a
degree.

sigh Maybe I should just go buy a new one instead of killing myself
trying to find a deal.
