So as the title says I took a chance. I’m not sure yet if I just screwed myself. But I have faith. I had been eyeing this one tool for a while but could not justify the $400 price tag, even though I’ve spent more money on other tools. So I typed the name into google to see if anyone else had started selling it, because it is only sold out of Canada by one company exclusively. Low and behold I found one on Craigslist. Problem is, it’s in the middle of the country and I live in upstate ny. And while its used, it’s half the price of a new one. So I emailed the guy asking if he would ship it, after a few emails back and forth. I sent the money to him. So I’m sure your wondering what I ordered, it’s called the little ripper. It’s a sled with rails that attaches to the bandsaw that allows u to mill boards from small logs.
I hope that you used paypal.
I looked at one of these and I can not justify the cost, you are right $400 is crazy……..with a little thinking I’m sure a fella could make one for far less…
Well I got tracking number. All in I paid 216.00
Chad, did you use PayPal? That’ll be helpful if it goes south. I did a sell on CL to a guy in Vermont and it went awesome so I’m sure you’ll be okay! The big thing is make sure the SN is not stole !
Have you received the item yet from that guy?
Yeah, I received it last week. Not only was it like brand new, but it had a height extender. Which I’m pretty sure is extra. It was a good score, saved $200 off a new one. I’ll have to take photos. I’ve been busy with assembling the xcarve. It’s a slow going process.
It’s nice to know there’s honest people Craigslist. Can’t wait to see what you come up with the xcrave.
Very cool Chad!! Can’t wait to c what u make man
Awesome stuff Chad!!!
Nice deal!
