A brand new Wilton benchtop 6" jointer, the same thing as my Sunhill SM-150B can be had for $119.99 + S&H. So the second hand Ryobi for nearly double that isn't exactly what I would call a bargain.
Of course if you were trying to go with as much Ryobi equipment as possible, a Ryobi jointer isn't exactly easy to find these days...
I bought a Grizzly 6" benchtop jointer a couple months ago for $185 + $44 freight. I does all I want of it. It is all cast iron, has good power and a good chip collector. It is made in China, not Taiwan. That may turn some people off.
