Looking for opinions on this deal

Still looking for my first SS. Keep missing on good deals, but I think I've found a decent deal. It's about 6 hours away and I have a Saturn Vue. Will I need a trailer to fit all this? Does this appear to be a good value? I will be making built-in projects and kitchen cabinetsand would like to try some turning. Thanks for all your input.

Tell them to mark it SOLD. It looks like a great deal and if it is as good in person as it is in the pictures buy it ! Now as far as transportation, :D I would love that challenge if it were me, but since you don't have much experience in taking everything apart you need a trailer. Plus it will travel better in a trailer. Less work on you r end and quicker to set up when you get home. Don't let this deal get away from you. The planner is worth $600 minimum by itself ! Leave now to go get it. ;)

Thanks for verifying what I thought. As usual, my timing is impeccable. I was off all last week rebuilding my patio roof (SS would have been nice to have for that). Now its snowing and I have to wait until next Monday to go get it. Tom Petty had it right - the waiting is the hardest part.

Given all the SPTs that are included, as well as a power stand, that is a great deal for a 510 setup. Yes, get a trailer. I'd see if the person will let you send them a deposit to hold it for you until you can make it down there.

He's holding it for me

Asked him to send pix of the 10 boxes of accessories. He'll send tonight.

Send PayPal

I agree see if he will take PayPal and that way you can sleep at night. Stranger things have happened. Fingers crossed you get this !:D

Rent a uhaul, its cheap, its worth it. take the headstock off and haul it up front, or wrap it in a blanket.

The planer is the item needing kid gloves. No excessive g forces!!!
