Rbi hawk for sale local

[James E. Welch]

This rbi hawk is for sale about an hour from me. I'm not in the market so much for a scrollsaw but if it's a good deal and or a good saw I'd consider picking it up. I don't know much about them.

Great saws.. I have a 1998 serial 109*** so I'm thinking this is early 2000's model. While these run around $1700 for the latest newest model this older version I wouldn't think is worth $700.. I got mine back in 2016 from a older person that bought it new in 1998 and was still in the sealed box.. ( unfortunately he had a medical condition after he had ordered it and just never was able to put it to use ) I got a heck of a deal for $400 as to my surprise when I opened up the boxes it turned out it had a magnifier light several ( 10+ ) blade holders and several pattern books blades etc.. I would have paid that $700 or maybe a little more for mine being brand new but too many used ones floating around in the $3 - 500 range.. 

Lots of folks on Facebook groups etc. would say this is a decent deal and it may be in certain locations but many reference the $1700 price of the new model, however the new model while it looks just like these older ones have been redesigned and are a much nicer saw.. Many think it's the same thing and it's not, I know because I bought a brand new one in 2018.. If I thought I could get $500 - 700 from mine I'd probably sell it.. I didn't use it much after I got the new one so it only has 100 hours on the hour meter. 

In my mind a good deal on this saw would be $300 or less.. If you was really wanting this particular older style and needing a saw maybe $500 at best.. That's just my opinion and the prices are typically a ( the most I'd pay ).. Really would depend on in person inspection etc..

Thanks ! Thats very informative. I just bought a king 16 so I don't need another saw but if it were a deal I'd have jumped on it.
