Hotley planes pricing error?

[dtam]

I've been looking for a cheap shoulder plane to add to my collection of cheap hand planes (only have a used Stanley #4, type12, I got on ebay for $20, and a Buck block plane for $6), and came across this site:

If you check their prices, they all seem to be off by at least a digit. Their A7 shoulder plane is listed at 3200 pounds, or $6382.13!! Even if it's supposed to be $638, that still doesn't sound right. For that much money, you can buy several stationery power tools.

I wouldn't be all that surprised to find out that the pricing is acurate. I've seen infill planes in the Thousands before.

Yep, those are the correct prices, these are for the ones in stock. Newer ones will cost more. He doesn't seem to have a problem selling his planes.

Yep, those are correct. If Lie-Nielsen is the Cadillac of hand planes, Hotley is the Rolls-Royce.

Yep, that man is legendary. Can't imagine what they'll be worth when he passes on. Now how do i tell the wife to cash i the 401K for some planes
