Man it's a good thing it is nowhere close to me, cuz I think for $700 I'd have to buy it and admire it for a while before I was forced to sell it because I did not have room for it to begin with.
 
Look at the ways, they taken some use (and maybe abuse). Paint job makes it look good (make even great) but it should be checked first.

Looks like some dropped chucks etc. Could be ex school machine. Personally I would look for the actual wear on the ways not just some dents and scratches that can be stoned.

It is difficult to see any wear on pictures - I would say there is no evidence of "very heavy" wear - but one should see with one's own eyes.

If this was in Alberta it would be sold already. Come on, what can you buy for $700 today?

IDK about 700, but 200 buys a Dickson S2T cnc tool post with 18 tool holders.
