Hi you all,

I wanted to share that i just bought a BS-75E-set that's
about 4 years old.. I payed €250 for it (new its €593) wich is
$ 318 vs $ 754. Its in mint condition, i'll upload some pictures
tomorrow.

Does anyone own the bs-75? Whats your personal experience
with it? Should i have bought the 105 instead?

Thanks Rick

They are very similar looking to the Bosch 75mm belt sander before Bosch started making them cheaper.

Did you get the frame?

75? 105? ... depends on what you're going to do with it!

The 105 is a monster - could see you using that on much other than floors ever.

Hi Rick, I think you're best off with the BS 75 for general work. The BS 105 is indeed a monster, large and heavy. The 75 is a lot better to handle. €250 seems like a nice price for it, congrats, and have fun with it. Let us know of your experiences.
