Well after waiting patiently, I've finally nailed at deal on a 6" jointer (don't have room for an 8" at the moment) ... after a deal on a 6" General fell thru.
It's a Ridgid 6" (Emmerson Grey version) which was only used once and looks like brand new except for dust from sitting in the shop ... paid only $250 CDN (approx $210 USD) and have seen them going for normally about $350~$450 CDN used.
A fellow who bought a bunch of tools for a shop to make some toys, then got too busy listed them on our local Kijiji classifieds (similar to Craigslist, only more widely used here).
But I missed out on ... a Ridgid 13" planner for $200 CDN, Ridgid Belt/Spindle Sander $150CDN, Ridgid Air Cleaner $150 CDN ... all looked new which I said I was interested in but he sold to someone else who should up before I could get there the same day ... which I was a little bummed about.
I don't get seller's not giving an interested buyer at least the day to show up to buy items ... I had to work until 5pm yesterday, the other fellow showed up during working hours ...
Still happy about the jointer though ...
