I have been looking for a first bandsaw for a few months now and have read good reviews on the Grizzly G0555. Finally have one for sale in the area (about 120 miles away) and wanted to know what you guys thought about this….
What do you guys think about a $300 price for that saw - assuming there's not a riser block included? Anyone able to offer any tips on negotiating that down further if you don't think it's a fair price?
EDIT: I'm planning to pick it up, thanks for your responses!

- The guy hasn't used it in years and it's been in storage. He's getting back into business and plans to open production shop and is buying a Powermatic - so that's why he's selling.
- He didn't know if he had the riser block, but said he never used it for resawing so I'm guessing he doesn't.
- Original price was listed at $400, I made him a verbal offer of $300 and he accepted. In hindsight, though, I'm not feeling great about $300 given that it's located 120 miles away and will take at least half a day to get there and pick it up.
