Yes i agree that big hard earned money .$200 for a used dw788 is all i pay for them.and have gotten one for $100.Offer up is a new site like craigs list and you can dial in what your looking for.how these places do this and don't charge is beyond me? Stay away from Chinese ,harbor freight,sears,ryobe,porter cable,dremil,they wear out very quit as they don't have lube points and bearings.i've gone thru over a dozen cheap-o's and had a ball but that's a lot of machines to throw away.better spend good money after good machines .i am poor as a rat now and the too .i did what i could .My first dewalt came in by tradeing my intarsia work for it .the guy had a dw788 and didn't know how to use it as a wood worker .He collects art work and when he seen my work immediately he reached out his hand and said it's a deal !
