Yup! I agree. Reminds me of that AT&T ad where Nerd #1 asks Nerd #2 how much he
would pay for something he doesn't want? Nerd #2 says, "Is this a test?"

I agree to the value of them being well in excess of $100 when you are going to
use it.
But most people can buy them for much less, cuz only a small % of us will use
it.
Meanwhile, miter chop saws are going for $65 - $300 around here, and definitely
not worth it to me, as I like all 10 of my fingers.

I have a Miller's Falls Langdon miter box with its long backsaw and all of its
various adjustment pieces. It has stamped steel legs and the cast iron body with
the "Buck Rogers" red phenolic base plate. It is "lovely" in the way the
adjustments work and in its accuracy. In my opinion it is easily worth well in
excess of $100 considering that even my cell phone charger costs $40 bucks
nowadays. If one doesn't leave it out in the rain the miter box will still be
working smoothly in a hundred years; the cell phone charger not so much.
