I know the ad is expired but would this be considered a "good deal"? Still searching. One popped up recently but they were asking 2000. Out of my price range.

Way overpriced. $800 would be reasonable.

Includes jointer, scroll saw, band saw, belt sander, DC and a bunch of smaller stuff. Twice that would be more reasonable. Yes it all needs TLC.

However a few concerns. The main table appears to be the early 510 version. The rails have either been mounted reversed or modified. The other tables have a mix of early/later 510 rails and they have different rails on the opposite ends of the same table(s).

Just popped up. Said he has enough accessories to fill up a truck. Comes with vacuum also. He was using it mainly as a table saw. Looks like it's a 510 based on the hand wheel and larger table.

Opinions?

I'd go have a look. Hard to tell much from the pic other than it is a 510.

JPG, did you mean half that would be more reasonable?

I meant $1600 would be more reasonable than $800.

JPG, I am sorry,a bit confused, why offer more? Or were talking fair market value for all that used?

$1600 is less than the asking price($2000) and twice the suggested counter offer.
