RichardA Posted May 22, 2020 Report Share Posted May 22, 2020 Ebay, under $100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted May 22, 2020 Report Share Posted May 22, 2020 Not vintage, but these from Cowryman Tools look like a good deal. This place sells several other interesting and unusual items, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G S Haydon Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 With the price of old router planes being so high I would look into a Veritas or Lie-Nielsen. Things have changed over the years, vintage smoothing planes and jack planes are still dirt cheap. More specialist tools like routers were never made in the same volume. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmercer_48083 Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 I had looked on Ebay for over a year, thinking I would get one for around $65.00 with shipping. Boy was I wrong! Most of the complete router planes sold for over $100.00 and that was plus shipping most of the time. I ended giving up and bought a Veritas from Lee Valley. I think the prices on Ebay went through the roof... since Paul Sellers has shown how useful they are in his videos. The only reasonable prices I have seen have been in England, but would require extra $$$ to import to USA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the vintage ones I would want seem to go regularly for over $100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardA Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 Not gonna try to prove you wrong. If prices exceed $100, then they do. I haven't been on Ebay for quite awhile. And have no need to check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
