I just won an eBay auction for a Stanley #45 plane, complete with the
original box and about 15 cutters. The plane looks in really good
shape...well, heck, here's the link to the auction:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3249089420
From what I could tell, #45's run significantly higher than this, so
I'm thinking it's a gloat. Am I right, or wrong?

I picked up a #45 at the Austin City Garage Sale a few years
ago - with 20 cutters in their box, missing the short rods
and the cam foot, for about $100 US. After cleaning it up
and sharpening the cutters it's been sitting on a shelf since.
One of these days, when I can find some nice uniform grained
stock to play with ...
I've seen new versions, from Record, I think that runs $600+.
So $67 ain't a bad deal at all. Congrats - you suck!

Haw! I suspect this is EXACTLY the reason that I
keep seeing 45s and 55s on Ebay labeled as "Mint", "Unused",
or "Near Mint". Although I am still kind of lusting after
one for myself, I also need to find a project to USE it on.

Amazing isn't it. I can't decide if it is that
expensive because it is that hard to make, or because they
know they only will sell about five of them. I suspect
the latter, actually.

Yea, double that. That is about where MY pain
level is on the tool just now. Since I don't "need" one,
I really am reluctant to invest more than $100 in it - money
is, alas, tight.

The last one I saw which had all the cutters and a box but not great
looking - the price was a firm $450 and no bickering. So I guess you have a
gloat there.

Hey Vato, you went and bought an ice skate!
As long as he is happy, what the heck?

It's definitely not the original box. Don't see the short rods,
the slitting cutter or the D-Cam.
Still, not a bad deal. The seller was a bit confused however,
as one doesn't typically use this beast for dado's.

To the gloat purists, this is not a gloat. By their definition, you have to
come across a deal that is not readily available to anyone else (like the
guy who helped himself to the walnut in his neighbor's garage). This is,
however, a neener. All that really matters is that you're happy.
