That is the best way to buy them. It's like accessories don't really add any value when buying used. I have been watching them for a few months and people that are asking 2000 or more always wind up not selling. The trick I think is to find one with the 510 table. That is a really expensive upgrade from the factory ($1500). They usually bring 800 to 1000 with that upgrade. The mark V's can be had all day long for 3-500.00.

Anyone selling the power pro that knows what they have wants 3 or 4000.

I did see one that went on eBay for about 1500. Wish I could have bid on that one.

I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with.

Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day.

From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.

" It's like accessories don't really add any value when buying used" . Applies to other things too, when I traded in one of my motorbikes (on another one) the salesman said to strip off all the extras because they'll give me the same price, with or without them! If there are extras the buyer usually gets the benefits, but the seller doesn't.

I remember the Shopsmith's from many years ago (when I used to read Popular Mechanics). Always wanted one but 1) couldn't get them in Oz and 2) too expensive anyhow for me.
