    Anyone have suggestions on the best place (price-wise)

2103.1$1699.00 After RebateGROOVE::DADDIECOThat's Just The Way It Is .....Mon Jan 27 1997 12:177
    I'm about ready to jump off that Unisaw bridge too - and I've found
    that the price just doesn't vary - even if you find it for less than
    the current sale/rebate price of $1699.00 at some mail-order house -
    the shipping charges will eat up any savings.  If you find it for less
    than $1699.00 please post your source.
    
    Thanx .... d.
2103.2NH=No sales taxSUBPAC::TADRYMon Jan 27 1997 13:076
    What about woodworker supply or woodworker warehouse in N.H.? No sales
    tax and if you have a truck....no shipping. Also try haggling. Thats
    alot of coin to drop and I'm sure they WANT your money. The rebate
    is from Delta, not them.

2103.3mail-order it..CSC32::S_WASKEWICZMon Jan 27 1997 14:327
    
     I'd second the motion to go mail-order. Check out Woordworkers Supply
    catalog. Theres no shipping on large orders (this definately qualifies)
    and they'll offload it to your door. You don't pay sales tax either,
    and those two items will beat any local stores hands down.

    Keep in mind that some mail-order firms give a discount to first time
    buyers.  Trendlines gave me a 10% discount on my first purchase.

    You will pay sales tax if you live in Ma. and buy from WW Warehouse
    since they have stores in Ma. You'll pay shipping too.

    Woodworkers supply carrys primarily Woodtek and Delta for big power tools. 
    I don't believe they sell powermatic.  The number is 1 800 645 9292
