Okay, here's the story; a BIL borrowed a cheapo 10" Makita miter saw from me this last winter. Apparently it got stolen out of his van. Since he needed another saw to finish his job, he went and bought a much nicer sliding compound miter saw, that he needed in the first place. Here is the deal; he has offered to give me this Hitachi 12" compound miter in exchange for my missing 10" Makita saw. He says that this Hitachi is like brand new and is still on it's original blade, but he will be providing a new Hitachi blade with it that he says cost him $72.
At first, it ticks me off that he didn't tell me about it until I needed it. However, unless I'm mistaken, a 3 month old Hitachi C12LSH with a new blade is worth more than my plain jane Makita saw. Thoughts?
