Oh, about that.

A jointer will make a real difference in how you do woodworking.
If you can get a working 6” jointer with a fence that works
and motor that goes, you’ll not regret it.

All I’m saying is that if it’s reasonably close, don’t let that
price stop you. Offer less if you want, but just having
a jointer will open up a lot for you so if you want one,
get one now.
