d, I don`t believe you`ll see the PC on the internet for a price close to $89. I wouldn`t spend a lot of time looking.

I think I got an email from autogeek this afternoon about a PC/bundle sale they`re having. Take a look.

call your local lowes and give them this item: #51472 / model: 7336SP and if they don`t have it, have them do a search and see what stores around may have them.

Lets say Lowe`s has them on sale (they didnt yesterday at "my" lowes) for about $90. How much more should I expect to spend to change it into a polisher? Wouldnt I need a different backing plate and at least 2 polishing pads?

So a good deal on a "sander" might not be as good of a deal for a "polisher" when you look at some of the specials that are on now.

I`d say about $15 for a backing plate and $10 each for pads. Check out Danase, he has backing plates and 6.5" LC pads for the ballpark prices I mentioned, plus if you check the sponsors forum he has a 15% off special running through Christmas.

Using those prices as a guide you can determine if you`re better off with one of the kit "specials" or putting together the package yourself.
