General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: On Buying a Scroll saw....Need advice....

Sounds like professional advice and I do thank you.  The saw is located in California at present.  It is owned by a very dear friend that has medical problems at present as to why he wants to sell it.  Is there a thought as to approx. how much you would want to pay for it.  He assures me its in pretty much excellent condition.  Thanks again....  Danny  :+}

I have a chance to buy a scroll saw.  It was made in 2001 and is a Hegner Multimax 18 inch with foot control, magnigier with light and stand.  It has not been used for the past 6 years and only limited usage before that.  Could any of you offer me your advice on this?  Thanks in Advance....  Danny  :+}

Gee Russ and you also Graybeard you both make me feel good about your feelings.  You know being a Newbe type with selling I have only used family and friends as the advice givers and No One has ever given me the top dollar for my Portraits as you have.  Over all its MAYBE $10 bucks!  Cheap family, but in less than 2 weeks I shall set up my display area and will just see how things sell.  And Yes Graybeard I have always made all my picture frames.  Thats the easy part of it.  Thank ya all for your advice.  Danny  :+}

I THANK ALL for your input.  I WILL SURELY use your advice.  My Portrait work has me puzzled as to what price to tack on them....  I was told a FORMULA to price items from a Pro. and it just doesn't seem like I could ever get the amount.  Like the ones I am posting.  Like it took me around 4 to 6 hours to finish some.  I was told to add $10 per hour it took to cut the craft.
How bout you guys n gals that have did many, many shows throw me some hints.  Please....  :+}

Thanks Russ for the lead.  That sounds better than the other two.  I did venture into Ebay a couple years ago and bid on a box of 1/4" baltic birch.  Came with 12 blanks of 12x12.  And I got all that for my bid of $10.00, but shipping was $8.00....SO....Is there anyone here that buys their craft wood off Ebay?  Just wondering....  Danny  :+}

Howdy to ALL....I am NEW to ordering wood outside of Lowes or Home Depot.
I checked out 2 sites and I really need some questions answered....Both make me think they want $6 to $9 for just ONE 20x30 blank of say 1/4" Baltic Birch.  Heritage wanted $9 and change for a blank of the same wood 12x12?
Is this the going price everyone pays?  Thinks fer learnin me.  Danny  :+}
