Dewalt dw788 worth it? Only have 2 hours to decide

[new2woodwrk]

I'm about to enter the auction and just wondering if this is already priced too high since I can get a brand new one for 499.

Thoughts?

Just my humble opinion, but I think that's too high.

Too high.

Too much money. No stand, no light, travel to and from to pick it up. You could go out and buy a brand new one for less. Just my opinion here. I bought mine off of C/L with stand and light for $250 and if I wanted to haggle, I probably could have done better. Be patient. Your deal is coming.

Yup, too high. That is a type I meaning it's about twenty years old. It WILL need new berings at the very least. If it was $100, I'd say go it, but not at $399.

Mine is a type 1 also. It all depends on usage. I took mine all apart and found that all it needed was cleaning and greasing. I did find that the main drive link was coming loose though and that was causing the noise/vibration that I was looking for. But, with all that said, $250 max. for a used Dewalt in my book. There are literally thousands of them out there for sale at any given time I'll bet.
