RO90 purchase

[PA floor guy]

So I have a routine of checking eBay for festool items, like daily.  And I have purchased some really good items for great prices. So I check the FOG boards today, and then I shoot over to eBay. I type in festool and the first item comes up. It was just listed 8 minutes prior.  It's a brand new unused festool RO90. It has everything but the systainer for some reason. And get this, the price is buy it now, 159.00 with free shipping.  So I quickly read the specifics and bought it before someone else did. I just can't believe it. It comes from a reputable surplus seller on eBay with great feedback and almost a million sales.
I'm just ecstatic, this completes my sander collection. I have every festool sander except the drywall sander now. Just wanted to share my experience with you all festool-ians.....      Sam

Sounds too good to be true, let us know how it turns out!

That is a ridiculously low price. I would be very aware.

I know it does guys.  But I checked the guy out, they sell a ton on eBay. Have a 99.7% positive.  Plus I paid with paypal and my CC, so I'm covered regardless.  They ship Same day, I already got a tracking number from the USPS. Once it gets here, I will report the condition and working status. Anyone interested could just check completed listings on eBay under festool.  You can then see exactly the transaction.    Will keep you posted.    Sam

"surplus"? is this one of the sellers that sells lightly damaged in shipping items perhaps.

It might be.  They don't have any other festool items for sale, I checked right away.  You can't imagine the shock when I seen the price. Just one of those days I guess

Update:::::

I got the package in today.  Actually was a little nervous because it seemed to good to be true.  But it was perfect. It arrived with everything but the systainer, and is definitely never used.  I plugged it in, fired her up. And she purred like a new rotex should. I now have a total of 6 rotex sanders, and the whole line up now.  Just wanted to update everyone, I truly did get a steal on this one.  159.00 with free shipping.

Nice deal. I just got my RO90 2 weeks ago and I am using it on some stairs. Superb little tool.

I bought a RO 150 from a guy on Craigs List a couple weeks ago who only used the sander a couple times.  Picked it up for $275.  The thing was practically brand new.  Great deal!

I travel all over the Northeast US and always check Craig's List in the areas I'm working.
