I think I know what DWalt means. In this case, I would have preferred the reverse, to have the Model 14 online and the Model 12 for personal inspection pre-decision.

But... life doesn't work like that. Sometimes you roll the dice if you want something. If the Model 12 is indeed as "basically unfired" as it looks and you find no hidden issues, it's a great addition to your collection at this price. Good luck!
