I think so, the Bandsaw was $365 I think, it listed at $375 at the time and I didn't have to ship it. The drill press was a steal, I didn't plan on getting one, but they had a whole bunch of them on sale, an impulse buy I guess. The dust collector I don't know if there was a real discount on it or not. My primary goal was to check out the bandsaw first hand before I bought it, and do a little recon on the 1023 series table saws. The money I saved in shipping on the bandsaw was worth the trip.
In the tent sale part, I got a couple of drill/countersink sets, misc. router bits/accessories, all at clearance prices.
If I could have committed to a couple of the scratch and dent items (I wasted too much time thinking about them....) I could have had a huge deal on a jointer. Folks there were on a mission, it was fun to watch.
If you're going to get a hotel, make sure you hotwire or priceline it, save some extra bucks.
