I found it online for $165 + $9.00 shipping at coastal tool. Makita 9227CX3 Polisher with Polishing Bonus Kit
I was looking for the Hitachi to save some money, but if this one is just as cheap, I will get the makita.

I think a local friend might have one for sale. Are you interested in a used one?

Yeah, a used one would work if it's the right price. It would have to be alot lower than the $165 for a new one, or I would just get a new one.
I saw that RCBudda has one for sale, but it's $200 and does not come with anything but the buffer and handles.

I've never seen a new buffer that cheap!! That's a really good deal. Is it a new or is it reconditioned?

That's a damn good price......
That bag is real handy too. I carry my Makita and my PC in there and still have room for a power cord and a couple of pads.......
Unless the used one is a killer deal, just get a new one.....
Good luck.....and btw, your going to love that rotary......  | |

I have seen them on eBay for a little cheaper but Coastal Tools is great! I have ordered a bunch of tools and other items from Coastal Tools over the years. They are in CT and I am in Long Island, NY. If I place an order before 3pm I get it the next day every time. Better than braving Their customer service is great and they are very helpful. | |

His is a DeWalt DW849 about 3 yrs old used infrequently. No box, manual or bag. But the owner will throw in a free velcro backing plate. $125 shipped FedEx Ground anywhere in the lower 48.

Thanks anyway Brian, but for $50 more I would just rather have the Makita.
I am excited about this deal. I am checking the local Fastenal company down the road for prices on the Hitachi and Metabo rotarys compared to the Makita.
