After hearing nothing from the buyer of my machines since he read my message Tuesday morning I sent a message telling him that if I don't hear from him by Friday with a date and time I'm keeping the deposit and putting the machines back on the market.
Well glory be, he'll be here Friday after work.

Never hurts to take a step back before taking that new next step forward. The world is changing very quickly these days.
I won't say too much here... Personally, I think you made a good choice when it comes to looking at smaller machining equipment for home hobby adventures.

Wow, lots of stuff with it. That guys is getting a pretty darn good deal then $3000.
Yes he is. And his first offer was $2000... at which I laughed.
Sounds to me like the guy who should be laughing is the guy who got it all for 3!
He is a lucky fellow.

No it was just pitching down rain and my phone was in the kitchen.

But I learned a ton on them and I'll have another lathe in my life. Heck I'm already looking
