    Those combos sound good to me. I might just pick up a wool one later in the game then.

    I`ve found some good deals on ebay for the Makita and Dewalt. One guy has a 9227, a qt of 3M Perfect-It III compound, a 3M waffle pad and tool bag for $191 plus $15 shipping. Dewalts can be had for $160 plus $15 shipping easily.

    I`m game if you put something together.. What kind of goodies are you looking to add on? I like the one internet deal with the 3M and carry bag, or something to that affect. I`d really like to try some of that Poorboys SSR one day...

    I just bought a 9227 new in box off of ebay for $159 shipped. I really don`t need the 3M stuff and am hoping to grab that bag one of these days. Now I`ll be able to show up to the PB Detail Day with a PC and a Rotary! I can get lessons from the master, Poorboy-san.

    I`m refusing to wax/polish/clay my car until the detail day. I`ll wash and Quik Shine it, but I really want to see what I can do with the defects it currently has.

    Scott P, I`m not a big fan of that bag, I would rather have a plastic tool box (Lowes $10-15). I just checked on Ebay again, and called a guy, but no better deals than what are already listed. I personally have an Edge adapter, but I think I will put it on the rotary, and save the PC until a better unit arrives. So for the time being, let`s get a list together of people who want the Makita for a better price. I will email Dwayne to respond.

    Well folks, I emailed Dwayne and unfortunately, PAC cannot go lower than the already low $179.99 shipped. Dwayne was very nice to email and explain that PAC is a specialty shop and does move the volume of Rotaries like a hardware store. I can totally understand this!!

    Anyone else have any ideas?

    As I mentioned earlier, I got mine for $159 shipped on ebay. I had a bidding war with a Mustang guy right at the end. I haven`t seen one cheaper than that.

    Me either Scott, that was a good deal. Cheapest one now is $159 plus $15 shipping. I`ll pay $4 more at PAC if that`s the lowest.

    Nick, thanks for following up with Dwayne. It`s too bad he can`t do better on the rotary pricing, but I agree with you that I`d rather spend a few extra dollars to support PAC than buy at a similar price from someone else.

    Howdy folks!

    Well, cruised on ebay today for the first time since posting this thread and ran into this auction with 4 hours left. At the time it was sitting at $120, ended and came out to be $150.xx shipped and insured. I couldn`t pass this one up.

    Nick`s New Makita Rotary

    I have 3M`s Perfect It III here (and better stuff) and don`t want the bag, as that really isn`t a means of protection. It looks as if this is a tool distributor, so I did ask if I could buy outright some others in an email to them at the same or near same price. We`ll see how it pans out. :dunno
