mitbok Posted July 8 #1 Posted July 8 There is a lot with the saw on Ebay (with sliding table and some add ons). It is already $1,200.00 ! Earlier, a brand new, packed saw with all bells and whistles sold for $4,250.00 !!! All I can say is - hold on to your saws if you have them, apparently they are very hot item. mtaylor, Archi, Nirvana and 1 other 1 3

As the 1200 dollar unit it is still another 8 days until last day. Will be interesting to see the final cost. Bought mine via our sell and buy section with alot of accessories, and only 80 dollars shipping. This only three years ago. Ryland Craze and mtaylor 2 Please, visit our Facebook page!

mitbok Posted July 9 Author #3 Posted July 9 The one that sold for 4K was full package purchased from Jim few years ago and cost the seller just over $1,200. It wasn't just the saw alone. But still, its sold like a collectible! Lesson learned - if there is something good made by a single guy or "mom n pap" business, buy it while you can. mtaylor and Ryland Craze 2
mtdoramike Posted July 9 #4 Posted July 9 No, it's more like stupid people on ebay bidding up an item and not know what it is, but they just have to have it. toms10, mtaylor and Ronald-V 3

Will be interesting to see the final cost. This latest one started at $1,200. And yes, like the first one that ended up at $4,250, you won't see hardly any action on it until just hours before it closes. I was watching the bidding on that first one and, within a couple hours of the closing, bids were still at a "reasonable" $1,500. Then two or three bidders got into a bidding tussle and.... boom. <shrug> mtaylor 1 Gregg Current Projects: Completed Projects: Waiting for Shipyard Clearance: Santa Maria Caravelle 1:48 - Ships of Pavel Nikitin Norwegian Sailing Pram 1:12 - Model Shipways USS Constitution 1:76 - Model Shipways Muscongus Bay Lobster Smack 1:24 - Model Shipways Yacht America Schooner 1851 1:64 - Model Shipways H.M.

mitbok Posted July 9 Author #6 Posted July 9 If it is not relisted than some one did pay over 4K. Chances are that person knows what he is getting. Some people use it for business and it could make sense for them financially. mtaylor 1

bigcreekdad Posted July 29 #10 Posted July 29 (edited) Wow..I am unlikely to try another scratch build and was thinking of selling my Jim saw and thickness sander. No idea what to ask. I mean his equipment is definitely top notch, but $1500 just for the saw? Edited July 29 by bigcreekdad Canute, mtaylor, Nirvana and 1 other 4
bigcreekdad Posted July 30 #11 Posted July 30 If I sell them, I really don't want to ship. if possible. Have a few past bad experiences with heavy mechanical/electronics stuff. 'd be willing to drive a radius of 100 mikes from Toledo, Ohio to meet a buyer. mtaylor, Nirvana, Canute and 1 other 4
