    This is funny in so many ways, I can't even begin...

    Almost Brand New!!! But not quite.

    Makes me wonder what the price was before he reduced it!

      Interesting

      This illustrates an interesting dichotomy with the BT3. This saw is worth close to zero to someone wanting a table saw. You can get a new BT3 for not a lot more than it will cost to get this one back up and running.

      Alternatively, the saw in the auction has substantial value ($50 - $100) to someone willing to part it out.

      It has always interested me about how much of a profit is available in parting out a BT3. I've been tempted a few times when the BT3100 was on sale to buy a few of them and sell off the parts. Heck I could probably keep the extra rails for free.

        This one is offered at $300--but at least it has a working motor.

          From the image, I'd be afraid that he has sold off/lost the smt and the rip fence.
