Planers

I generally buy my lumber from HD or Lowes', so do I really need a planer?
I found a used Delta 12" at a garage sale today for $150, but I really don't know if I need one, since most of the wood I get is already milled to a certain degree. Please advise.

Thanks,
j_ls

I guess only you can answer that question. I would not want to be without one but I doubt that everyone needs one.
It all depends on what kind of wood work you do and what type of wood you use.
