Here's why I tell you to buy used machinery
It should come as no surprise that Woodworkers have "appetites" for tools that sometimes exceed their commitment to the craft. Also, pro shops close and liquidate.
In the first case, virtually new, high-ticket machinery bought on credit gets sold on the second-hand market for a fraction of the sticker price. In the second, some very capable machinery with substantial use can be got for prices close to scrap metal.
Here are too dreamy virtually new Austrian combo machines made by a Felder subsidiary Hammer being auctioned off in Georgia.

Interestingly, my posting this here may bring bidders to the table and drive up the selling price by a bit.
Well, somebody's loss is going to be somebody else's gain. That's how this stuff works.
