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.

Never hurts to take a step back before taking that new next step forward. The world is changing very quickly these days.

The dividing plates fit the rotary table.
The RT went with the mill then?
Yup.
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!

No it was just pitching down rain and my phone was in the kitchen.
Yep. Machines are just machines, easy to buy easy to sell. I have some attachment to a few things but most can get sold down the river with no remorseIt's bittersweet to see your machines leaving on a trailer. But I learned a ton on them and I'll have another lathe in my life. Heck I'm already looking
