I've been seeing an old Stanley No 2 on Craiglist near me for $140. What's one of them worth?

I've seen them in antique shops from between $250 and $400 depending on condition.  $400 was a corrugated.

I think $140 would be worth looking at, and maybe buying.

OK, I can't stand it, I'll take it.

Bob, I'd like to buy a blade from you, send me a PM.

Thank God! Now I don't have to fret about it.
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.

Not to hijack the thread. This is the plane in question. Not sure why I'd have need for a No. 2.

Wow, check out the business end of the plane blade. Looks as if he tried to make it a scrub plane.

Yeah I saw that too and thought the same thing. Very curved looking iron. Wasn't sure that's what it was at first.

Glad someone else picked this up. I just couldn't get the nerve up to spend that kind of money on myself right before Christmas. I got a few things on Cyber Monday (Lee Valley), my first tool from Woodpeckers (small square), and though I would like a No 1, I didn't want the consequences. I thought about saying it was a present for the kids.

I've even thought about one of the reproduction ones, but if I go that route, it would have to be something that would retain value.
