I think I need another project...and I don't imagine a shaper is going to get bid up to crazy

There are also two Southbend Model A lathes and two Modern lathes for sale in this auction. Lots 455 to 458
 
So some googles-ing shows decently restored SB 7's sell for ~$2k USD.

Whats a sane Calgary max bid for this one? $1000? I'm gonna venture down and take a boo tomorrow. I'm currently in a hold pattern for buying new machines/projects so its more for fun...

Good question, regal gets funny, I've been there when it was in person bidding and seen things go for way over retail, if you get the wrong couple guys bidding it can get real high real fast

I personally don't think it's worth anything more than 1000 all in, given that the ? table/ways? Are probabaly seized up

I was thinking of bidding on it, maybe it will be a deal, maybe it'll get bid way up
