Here goes. I went to an estate sale in Wonder Lake that was advertising
Festool, Porter-Cable, Delta, etc. among the other goodies.

It was a one-day sale and I hit it early afternoon hoping to find a
"half price" sign posted to ensure everything cleared out. No such luck.

Prices weren't that great but I did find a nice 14" x20" molded plastic
cabinet with bin type drawers loaded to the gills with Kreg pocket
screws of both threadings, various sizes, etc. Has to be at least $60
worth along with some other small fasteners of various types and sizes
including with drawer with probably 100 different picture hanging items.
$20? Sold!

I walked into the separate third bay of the garage and what do I find
that catches my eye?

A Jessem Rout-R-Table Stand
A Jessem Table with Mast-R-Life Excel
A Jessem Mast-R-Fence
A Jessem Mite-R-Slide
A Porter-Cable 7518 3¼hp, multi-speed router (with the base included)
A Jessem Remote Switch
All sitting on a mobile base.

All of it is in pretty much like-new, slightly used condition, along
with all the manuals.

I couldn't believe that they were asking only $800 for it the way
everything else was priced. However, a bargain hunter never caves that
easily. I offered them $500 and loaded it in the van.

A friend recently bought almost the exact same setup (his has the
digital readout which, I think, adds about $120 as an accessory) for
right around $2,500.

So? How badly does this suck?

Thoroughly! Like a Hoover vacuum.
Even if you didn't want/need any of it, you could sell it and easily
double what you paid.

Not that it should be an issue and not that the warranties are anything
meaningful...yours has been tested and proven to be trouble-free. However,
you're extremely lucky to have been able to get your setup at all. Around me,
any Yard/Estate/Garage sale that even hints at tools is flooded with guys who
are willing to bid the price up, there's no getting out under the asking
price. Lie to your friend next time, to make them feel like they beat you...it
keeps them from becoming your competition in the future.

I'll give you $600 for the lot and we'll call it a win-win. Deal?
