• 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.

You have to love the spelling of this (LOL) and be willing to travel to Fairview. Looks like it is in nice shape.

Agreed, but 2000 seems pricey for that size and quality of lathe. It sold for 650 plus the GST and fees so pretty good buy for someone.
 
Yeah, I think the 650 is a very good price - maybe I should have bought it and just placed it on another auction to gamble it sells again for $2000... or maybe there were just two strange people that way, way over priced these things. For me these are just old a bit over sized mini lathes. Should not be worth more then $1000.
