Colchester Student $8500

[Mcgyver]

My second lathe was a Colchester Student. Good stout , accurate machine. I only sold it to make money on it. I still can't understand how a Myford could possibly compare....blows my mind

apples and oranges imo. Both are great quality, but one goes down the stairs easily, the other doesn't.

Well like I said, it’s not just any well used machine, it’s a Colchester. Any 1960s machine is going to be well used lol, so at some point, it’s not the wear and tear that dictates the value but what they are sold for.

I’d love to have that machine but it would have to be about 4000 less for me to even consider it.

Not sure why everyone fixates on asking price. If you want the machine then make an offer with what it is worth to you. I learned this when buying a Ferrai in 2001, the asking price is just that, an ask. What things sell for is often quite a different number.
Of course if you are just tire kicking, then sure the price is always too high
