So I've been looking for a bargain priced Performax on Craig's List for a few months. Some time back, I missed one in my neighborhood by 2 minutes. The phone was literally busy because the guy who bought it was talking to the owner. That one went for $225. Argh.
Anyway, I popped on CL last night at bedtime. One had been posted at 10:52 PM and I saw it at 11:00. I figured the seller must still be awake, so I called him and sure enough he answered. Long story short, I drove to Seattle this morning and bought a Performax 16/32 for $200. It even turned out that the owner lives 5 blocks from the Rockler store, so I picked up a few rolls of sand paper on the way out.
The sander runs fine, although I just got it home so haven't tried it on a project yet. Just had to crow to an appreciative audience (my wife and daughter yawned).
