   Certainly do that,but to be honest I've had wonderful luck acquiring infills from other sources as well. I find you can get deals on nicer well cared for and tuned planes[users in that sense] from a lot of different sources if you know where to look and get a few relationships established with the right folks. I've probably gotten at least five from just asking in forums from other woodworkers. I don't do the hagling route to much as I 've gotten a better idea of whats worth what and whats a good worker and just fuff for the eyes,so I know whats a fair price for most and whats not,believe it or not theres a whole world of infills outside the Norris and Spiers box and they made a lot of them in their day.

   How many panel planes do you need?  What do you intend to do with them?

   My guess is: Buy low, sell high.Matt

   Nope,I've never sold a plane to anyone for profit,given a few away to deserving homes or traded up for something else ,but I don't sell planes.

   No problem,unfortunately thats what a lot of people do,buy em to sell em,one of the effects of Ebay add in tool dealers and well healed collectors and I can see your point all too well. I'm one of those throw backs that get infills because I'll use em or collect them and make em working planes again.

   I don't need them,I collect them and smoothers I just really like the infills,the weight,the look,how well they work .a whole bunch of reasons why I like infill planes.I probably only use 3-4 on a routine basis.
