Grizzly 1018

[AlexSwansboro]

Found a CL add for a Grizzly 1018 jointer. It is 5 years old and the guy says that is has less than 1 hour of run time. He is comparing it to a Grizzly G0490. He wants $500.00. I am more at $450.00. Am I being unreasonable?

If you think the unit is truly overpriced, then stick with your offer... but be willing to 'walk.' $50 isn't much difference. Some old school rules of bartering apply, and both of you should be interested in coming toward center and settling on a price. If you are REALLY a nice guy, then let him make the final acceptable offer. Make sure you get him to run at least a stick or two of lumber through it for you to show you it is in working order. Good luck!
