• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.
  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

Might be too good to be true.

How does the scam work? Do they jump me for my cash when I show up to buy it? I get that the price screams scam I just can't figure out how the scam works.
 
They will tell you other people are supposed to get it, but if you are really interested they will hold it for you if you send a deposit. Whoever sends the deposit first will get the lathe

Except there is no lathe, no address, they likely aren't even in that city, and whatever deposit you send you will never see again
 
Hard to figure why the paint is so nice and the tooling is rusted, or is that cosmoline?

Either way it sounds like either a scam or it's stolen.
