I see this often when I'm looking at eBay and the naivete and lack of research some sellers do just amazes me. This fellow has listed shaper work head (which I think is actually a planer side work head) for $500.
I then went to the sold listings for the same "metal shaper" search and there was a 16" G&E shaper with vise and toolholder that sold for 450. I bought that same shaper in worse condition for 385. The optimism never ceases to amaze me. I doubt anyone would even pay for the shipping if they were giving the thing away. It's not hard to do a search on sold listings and come up with some idea what your item is worth. If an entire working well equipped shaper is going for 450 that might inform you that your small portion of it maybe isn't worth that much? Dunno. Enough rant for now.

And we did NOT acquire this off the original shaper it was attached too. IM GUESSING maybe it goes on 16" shaper???. But the unit it really, really EXCELLENT CONDITION!
