Dewalt dw733 planer

[joshdc91]

This planer just popped up on the local craigslist for $175. A couple of projects that I've recently completed would have been much easier with this. MY question is, is it worth it? And what do I need to be looking at if I go to look at it?

Thanks!

Seems high to me for being 10 to 15 years old. I'd say $100 if it needs blades. Look at the condition of the rollers that pull the wood through and if the blades have any nicks. Get the owner to run a piece of oak through and check how clean of a cut you get. A set of blades will be about $40,
