I am not sure it was an ungloatable price.
I suppose it matters where you are located on the continent.
  an 8 in sweet condition would not be ordinary in my own travels on the 
second hand circuit.
A transitional jack plane in broken deplorable, 
why-would-anyone-ever-fish-it-back-outta-the-fire, condition? Yeah I 
would might see one of those in a hard enough search.
   so whatever it cost you today, its nice and its
  yours
