Some of you may have seen my thread earlier asking about drum sanders. After hearing your advice, I started researching drum sanders and found the a new one would be fairly expensive. So I turned to Craigslist. I set up a few RSS feeds for different searches and last night got a hit.
A guy only about three miles from me was selling four tools, including a Jet 16-32 Plus drum sander. The price was pretty good, so I called him immediately - his ad had only been up three hours. I went over to see the tools (about 9pm), but he wouldn't break the group - it was buy all four or none. So I bought all four. Today, I rented a lift gate truck and picked up the tools. So here's what I got.
The Jet 16-32 Plus

An 8" jointer with helical cutting head. The brand is "Pioneer" which I never heard of but it seems to be a decent jointer.

A Rikon disk and belt sander in rough shape. May not be working.

And an older 2HP dust collector. I have no need for this since I have a dust collector in my shop already so I'll try to sell it. Everything else, I plan to keep.

We ran everything except the Rikon sander so at least I know the motors are good. It was a good thing I went over to his place that night because the next day when I went to pick up the stuff, he told me that people were calling and offering him more than he asked for - more than I paid him.
So what did all this cost me??? $500. I think that's a pretty good, especially for the Jet drum sander and the jointer.
