Lol I don't even have room for a machine like this but I would've still jumped on it. The helical head is worth more than that lol. Hope they fill your order! All they have to say is "sorry this item is no longer available" and refund your money. Was it a pricing mistake?

Either a mistake or trying to clear the inventory since the entire planer is no longer listed versus the price just being corrected.

I ordered one, everything Steelex is now gone from the Griz site. Sounds like hundreds were ordered, a friend said it went viral. I did get a verification of my order from Grizzly.

That was an unbelievable deal, hope it works out for you.
I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.

I'm surprised its back up on the site, the web page got pulled last night after I made my order.

I got the confirmation too.  If if shows up, I'll have a Dewalt 735 for sale to make room.   Couldn't pass on it tho, just too good.

good luck!

They pulled the webpage last night after I made my order, but it's back up this morning, same price.
