Good score?

Post by jayp413 »

Well I recently sold all of my Shopsmith equipment to give us a little extra money for vacation and I immediately began having withdrawls and started the search all over again. I ended up finding what I thought was a good deal.

An assembled Shopsmith that was never used with tags still on it
pro planer with power stand
bandsaw
sander
joiner
all brand new in the boxes!
The Shopsmith is 80's I beleive. The serial number is strange. It is 74948
All for $1150.
Do you guys think that was a deal? The market sucks around here so it is hard to guage!

Four months later I owned two....
Ok Ok, I'm up to four now...

Locally here in Western Colorado, there is a very inconsistent market, but yours would seem to be a pretty good deal. Congrats.

A Mark V at much less than new price with free spt as listed. Yes, I would say you got a good deal. A steal really.

That's about the price I paid in 1980, just for the Mark 5. So I'd say ya got a good deal. Now lube and wax it, then align it.
