Mine was about $800 in June at Rockler.
The only thing I would advise is to make certain that you really want the
sander. I haven't used mine nearly as much as I thought I would. It may
be a learning curve thing, but I'm finding it somewhat fiddly to use over
16" wide.
Patriarch,
thinking just how much Lie-Nielsen $800 buys....
I would get the Performax -- particularly for an asking price of $600. I
paid between $300 and $400 for mine (without the stand) and have not been
happy with it. My biggest gripe is that it's just about impossible to
connect the right hand side of the belt. It's so difficult, I don't even
attempt to do it any more, just wrap a strip of duct tape around that part
of the drum. Also, be aware that Ryobi no longer produces this sander.

mine was about $700 or so a year and a half ago from a local store
with the mfr's frequent $50 coupon.
I checked on the Performax 16/32 on Amazon, and the unit, with stand and
assorted grit belts comes to around ~$1,100 - - Can you tell me where I can
get the Performax 16/32 for close to $600.
Thanks
