I see POS Whoopty cars worth 50 bux, all the time with $2,000.0 worth of wheels on them, and stereos, and speakers almost as much. On a good day, it's all about if it works for you. 

My 14" Bandsaw is a HF POS, that I have replaced all of the hardware, and motor and drive parts on it, and Carterized it to the point where it's as good as a Powermatic. I know this because for a long while I owned a Powermatic 14" back when they didn't cost thousands of $$$$.
