Quality in value?

I am a fan of older planes.  Records and Stanleys.  I bought my set..3, 4, 5, 6, and a 7, plus a Great Neck block plane for $115 and they work well after a bit of work on them. My newest bench plane is a 1936 if I remember right.

I bought a '50's Record #4 last year for $5 and restored it fairly easily.

That being said, I still drool over Veritas and LN planes.

Hand planes are a rabbit hole you can spend a long time down.  You can go in a lot of directions and be happy.  Bottom line is to get the tool you like and are happy using.
