Really? I just don't see it. I appreciate that he prolly never used it and has nearly 7 grand into it. but 4800 bucks seems steep to me.

This is the 'flipper' Chris Wood we have discussed in another thread selling a very overpriced Craftex mini-knee mill.

Well I see it as about 3K$ IF it could be checked out under power. From a flipper? maybe 2 grand tops.

This is the flipper. He can say he only used it for 5 min as its the truth The actual owner may have used it a lot or not at all. Agree with Dabbler that 3k seems to be more fair.

But there seem to be a LOT of suckers out there!

If only they could join here, it would help them get a better deal!

Ebay Effect. Wide advertising attracts people with plenty of money and no idea as to true value; driving the price up. A capitalist would say that the "new norm" *IS* the fair value. I disagree.

I see stuff on auction go regularly for more then new. Up to 2x as much as new.
