    ...I'd grab it just for the hellofit.
    Sounds like a very good price for a Festool.
    Accessories???
    In a systainer???

    Sounds like a bargain, so I would be checking it very closely.
    Does it have a power cord, and if so is it in a usable condition? Approximate replacement price $50.
    Does it have a collet and appropriate attachments to make it use able?

    Depending on age and how it has been used it could be worth getting, or best to steer well clear of.

    Default laminate trimmer

    Not sure of the model number. No systainer, no accessories.
    Cord looked Ok but I'd suggest that it is well used

    If its the ofk500 it uses a special festool cutter which only festool make, you should be able to bargain them down to below $200. To see how old it is there will be a yeAr after serial number on the tool I'd plaplat click on the below link to check out full details of tool & price list for accessories

    If it looks like it is well used as you say then you would need to bargain them down .

    It might be in need of brushes bearings for the armiture etc not necessarily true being a Festool all the same it really needs a price check as it is not with a systainer or the add ons!

    I went back and had a look today it is the OFK500 it's serial number is followed by /00. So would that mean manufactured in 2000. Comes with accessories and systania. Looks to be in good condition. I had the wrong price $399.00 is the tg price.

    Thy also had a PSC400EB battery jigsaw on the shelf also asking $399. Very clean looked like it had hardly any use.

    All this good stuff but no decent belt sanders
