RBI 214-BT, What's it Worth?

[junquecol]

First, let me say I know less about scrolling than I do about turning. And I am like Sargent Schultz when it comes to turning- "I know nothing." So I need to determine what I should give for a RBI Hawk 214-BT scroll saw. From what I read, this is a desirable saw, is it? Ten bucks, two hundred bucks, I don't know, so what should one pay for a used RBI 214-BT saw?

Bruce the 214 is one of their early models. One thing that puzzles me is I am not sure what the BT stands for. It would help to know what condition and what options it has. Off hand my gut says the used value would be $150 to $250.

I hope this helps.

As someone who actually was "Sergeant Schultz" for more than 17 years, I resemble that remark.
