The seller has a bunch of other interesting machines for sale.

But note that the seller does not list prices, the seller ads all say please contact, the seller has items listed for a longer period of time and the seller lists a phone number for contact.

Those all point to over priced dealer who wants top dollar.

As does the fact that despite contacting them via phone they do not respond in a timely fashion, which again points to a dealer who isn't eager to sell his stock.

The price on this is $6800

I may just go have a look if it is a numbers matching machine. I dont have a hydraulic profiler on my chippie. This machine sounds like the variator is in very good condition too. I saw video of low speed operation.

Yes he is a dealer, I asked how much it weighed, this was his response,

Yasir Jamal:

Chris are you asking due to trucking? If so we can facilitate that as well for an extra fee. We sell industrial machinery and provide the entire service for our customers.

It's not like I have $6,500 burning a hole in my pocket, just window shopping and dreaming.

He is a broker and does not even have the machine in his possession.

A chippie like that weighs 1200 lbs. It is an easy lift using a bar through the cross hole in the bed just in front of the chuck. But I suspect you already know that ;-)

That sounds more accurate, he told me it was 4,500lbs so probably just guessing.

He really doesn't know much from my extended text conversations.

It is much more than standard chippie though because it has hydraulic follower attachment and power unit. But nowhere near 4500 pounds

That generation of Chippie had a 3 hp main motor as standard. For info.

I have an OEM chippie motor if anyone wants one too...

I just saw this listed on FB marketplace for $8000.

It seems enough of us contacted Yasir about the lathe that he felt there was demand to ask even more. Here stupid me was thinking that I could talk him down to just under 4K or so

TorontoBuilder · 2024-10-21T10:11:15-0600

Yasir on the much higher asking price on the FB: "we did that so we have room to negotiate the price"

Lucky7 · 2024-10-21T10:15:28-0600

Well, it does mean the lathe isn’t getting worn out while it sits with an unrealistic price ;-)

Ah right. I assumed a person would remove that stuff from the lathe before moving, but maybe that's not easy, or even a good idea. I took the splash guard off before moving mine, but that may be difficult here without disconnecting the hydraulics and anyway, it would make them even more in the way I suppose.
