Is this as decent a deal as I think? Haven't seen the tool in person
yet.

Looks like a good price to me. Google 6" jet jointer for more pricing.

That is high for that unit.

See if you can get it for under $250.
more like 225 or better at $200.

Oh, it's decent if local for no shipping but I wouldn't consider it
great. OTOH, if it's available now as opposed to continuing to look/wait
and you'll be satisfied w/ the 6"...that'd be my biggest concern that
you'll be in same position as is reason this owner is now selling
shortly because you'll regret not having at least an 8" machine...

Jet aren't common up here, but a good 6" jointer is going for about
$700 new.

How does Jet compare in quality to General International?

Roughly equivalent; typically a little less expensive--the Jet brand is
owned by the parent of Powermatic and they're in the same ballpark
competitively as the better 2nd=tier generics.

Specifically to models I'd have to look at the General offering; this
one is not the center-mount fence but the rear mount that is a little
less convenient.

One of best comparisons is look up weight--the more cast iron the better
is a general rule that rarely leads in the wrong direction...

Interesting it looks like mine as far as the fence goes which I got in
the 70's when Jet was getting started in the Seattle area. Its
actually green. Considering the extra knives and all it looks clean
might be a fair tool. I've gotten good service from mine other then
when I wish it was wider.

Picked it up last night for $275. It's in pristine shape, even though
it's at least 25 years old. Glue-line quality on the tests.

Now to clear a space, get it out of the trailer and reassemble.

Good for you, and I think you'l be happy. The fence on those is very
solid.
