Did I sell my Jet for too cheap?
I put my Jet Hybrid TS in the paper this last week and the phone rang
off the hook. Remember the saw that came before the supersaw...it has a cabinet base, with a 2hp motor and twin belts. Xacta fence, 30" rail. Went for $650 which was full asking price. Maybe I should have asked for more. Well the Unisaw should be here tomorrow, the Jet's replacement. 50" biesmeyer (sp?) fence, 3hp, 2 cast wings and mobile base. Can't wait. Mark |

Too close to retail and prople will just pay a few $ more for support and warantees that come with a new machine.

This weekend I picked up a Jet Hybrid TS for $650. Excellent condition. Only
used occasionally for cross-cutting some balsa wood. It appeared that the owner didn't really know what he had. But oh well, gloats are made of this stuff. -j |

That's nothing. I'd have paid $1,500 and thrown in a case of canned tuna. |

Just to clarify its not a unisaw - its a cabinet saw/contractor saw hybrid.
Same saw I have actually - good saw for what I use it for - never had any problems w/ it. "skeezics" wrote in message ...

mp did say:

I bought the new Jet hybrid saw for $850. Used it very lightly for a year
and put an ad out for $800. I had someone give me a deposit within 2 days and he picked it up a few weeks later. Not sure what he was thinking but hey, it helped pay for the new unisaw.

Depends on how much you figure your time, dealing with 'tire kickers', is worth. grin $650 is not a 'give away' price, although it is an 'attractive to the buyer' level (as you found out . Guessing you probably could have gotten $100 more, but it would have taken time, effort, and aggravation. "Peace of mind" _does_ have value. |

Not sure what he was thinking but hey, it helped pay for the new unisaw. That's always nice. I had a camper a few years back that I paid $500 for. I used it for a season and sold it in a day and a half to a lady for $3500 after telling her exactly what was wrong with it (broken heater, leaky roof). Some people are just foolish, I guess.
