I’m sure this has been posted before. Realistically what is this machine worth?

The ad is only 6 hours old, I don't think we have seen that one yet.

its been just re listed, it’s been on kijiji for a while now.

At that price expect it to be on Kajiji for a decade. Unless inflation goes out of control

Same Lathe, same ad, same price as it was 6 ~ 9 months ago.
My guess; it'd be a good buy at about 1/2 that price, maybe a bit more if its in great shape, low hours C/W lots of extras.

Yeah that’s what I was going to offer, 6000. I don’t even want to give such an offer though as I’m sure the seller would take it as an insult. As much as I want a colchester, I’ll just keep sitting patiently.

And the first thing to go would be those gawdy red handles !

I think it is worth about 4K$. Only one 4-jaw chuck. it is a 16" lathe, which will raise Tom K's hackles. Frankly it would be fine in any hobby shop - for a hobby price. It was over 25K$ new.

Expect to pay (new) 2K$ for a 4J chuck, or $750 for a used one.

thats the smart move. All kinds of silly and ignorant behaviour out there, but somehow most just don't appreciate having it pointed out

at 2600 views and still priced like that, the pace of learning suggest you might need to have lots of patience.

edit - the 10" chuck is 3jaw. oops.
