Way to go! Craigslist must be different in my area. Mostly I see people trying to sell tools that have been used pretty hard for about what you can get new for!
I keep looking for a bandsaw to replace my 9 inch craftsman but to no avail.

Me too…............... just can’t find much on craiglist in this area.

I am shopping around for a bandsaw on craigslist, but don’t want to pay just $20 less than new for a well used machine. Good job on your find!

Around here you have to sift through craigslist to find that diamond in the rough. I thought I had found one with a Grizzly 8” jointer, but it was resold to someone else before I could get there to pick it up. (In fairness to the seller, he was trying to sell his whole shop in one go, and he did manage to do that after we had agreed to a price on the jointer.) It wasn’t as good a deal as a $50 dollar 14” bandsaw, but it was a decent deal.
Most of the time you have people trying to sell tools they have used once or twice for 10 to 20% off the cost of new.
