Just placed an order for a 3HP 36" fence Sawstop on Amazon for 2.5 grand. That is about $700 price drop. I wander if the recent Sawstop rebates and this price drop is an indication of a new model coming out.
Amazon.com is an authorized vendor.The SawStop PCS 3HP ships from and sold by Amazon for $2,688.53 right now. I m sure you can get an authorized vendor to match that price to save on tax.

I bought from the risky sellerI did not buy it from that seller. Too risky. There was a bit more expensive, $2600+ from Amazon itself with prime shipping. I see it is gone now though.
Now I do need to find a way to cramp a 220V breker into a remaining single free slot in the breaker panel. Might require a subpanel.

So you own me a beer ;-)I bought from the risky seller
You will need two slots in your breaker box to get 220v. The easiest way is to buy a single slot tandem breaker and consolidate two others to get an extra slot.

That's what I'm thinking too. The Amazon bot lowered the price to compete with the $2500 one.I think I know what happened. Some unauthorized dude had a Sawstop to sell so he listed it on amazon ( much like ebay) for $2500. Amazon s robot saw the price drop and automatically lowered it for their merchandise to stay competitive. Once the $2500 single item sold the robot does not see the competitor and raises the price back to $3200 !

"Currently unavailable"How about $1450 on a used 52-inch model:

It has to be a pricing error or a scam… it just can t be real.

100% scam. They want you to e-mail them and try to get around Amazon's payment and use Western Union.How about $1450 on a used 52-inch model:

What he said: the tandem breaker, and then you have room.You will need two adjacent slots in your breaker box to get 220v. The easiest way is to buy a single slot tandem breaker and consolidate two others to get the extra slot.

This makes the most sense. Don't know if anyone uses this website, but it tracks amazon's price changes. I think this was the saw the OP posted:I think I know what happened.

I would not worry much about the seller being dishonest. If he is I am sure amazon will take care of it. My concern was that buying not from authorized dealer you might run into difficulties getting warranty service as Sawstop specifically states the warranty is only valid when buying from an authorized distributor.I read the reviews for the seller and one reviewer did mention that their parcel weighed over 300# and was delivered by freight truck. we shall see….
