What am I missing? *LINK*

>Was bidding on a 13-050 combination plane. (Stop booing!!!) After reviewing a number of posts here, thought it would be a good starter combo plane.

Found one on the bay, complete with all 18 cutters. Thought I had a nice find. Dropped out of the bidding. Finally went for almost $200.00.

I thought that was the going rate for a good 55. This is a semi-modern Stanley Combo, normally disparaged on the boards. You can find a new PC tailed router for about the same. What gives??

>English auction. Could be Stanley doesn't make them anymore either. Also it look pretty much unused.

It seem to me that a No. 55 goes for much more in a complete state on the bay. I payed a little more than that for my 45.

BTW...Where the heck you suppost to put a hand on the front of that thing?

Scott, sticking with my No. 46...

>I honestly don't know much about those English monstrosities, but #55s with cutters are in the $350-$400 range. Agree with Scott - a $200 #46 with cutters is hard to beat. The later versions with the #45 type fence are aeasier to use IMHO.
