Not just a bargain but a flat out steal for someone if they are in/near enough to the Virgiana Beach VA area. $350 for a 510, jointer, strip sander, and jig saw.

Another steal in the Dallas area. A 520 with PowerPro headstock, jointer, and bandsaw on stand (I don't think that's a SS stand?). $1000.

^^^That looks like a deal. Lots of good stuff there. I don't see many 520s for sale, none around here that I noticed.

Two upstate NY deals.

First, Old 500+bandsaw, condition questionable, but only $70 - https://hudsonvalley.craigslist.org/tls ... 69568.html

Second, a 510 with joiner, bandsaw, and a Power Station. Not bad for $500 - https://albany.craigslist.org/tls/d/for ... 25064.html

Second includes a DC and 500 table/parts.

This looks too good to be true. I'm seriously tempted to go get it.

$100 - Mark V - looks cleans, comes with joiner and belt sander

Can rarely find either a belt sander or jointer for that, let alone the 500. That would be an easy decision if you needed one or both of the SPTs. Turn around and sell whatever you don't need, possibly even at a bit of profit.

That looks like a Ring Master 730 in the goodie box. If complete, it alone is also worth more than the entire asking price.

Thanks for pointing that out. I have an eye infection and everything looks blurry to me, plus I don't know what a Ringmaster looks like. I don't have one those, therefore I want one, so I have emailed the owner, if includes a Ringmaster and my son can drive me I plan to pick it up.

I've heard other parts of the country don't have $100 Shopsmiths available, not even beat up machines much less a beauty like this one. Sorry to hear that that is the case. But feel free to come to New England where inexpensive used Shopsmiths grow on trees. We'd love to have you here. The weather sucks, but apparently that's happening to the rest of the country too.

This one already blew off the tree. Not surprised.
