That’s not a bad price but so hard to know condition of the lathe. I had considered bidding on it but the pictures on Luke’s auction are just to low resolution to be able to bid with confidence.

I think next time l go into Luke’s lm going to mention to them about higher resolution pictures.

They dont care, in fact they make more because people can't see just how bad a lot of their crap is.

They do this by design, the same reason some auctioneers put together mixed lots of crap with one good item forcing people to take garbage in order to get a good item.

His staff in fact have no idea what they are selling when it comes to tools such as this. All of their items get the same photo resolution, from costly antiques to junk. Ask them about teak furniture, clocks, jewelry, china, wood working and mechanics and you will get educate answers, just not on machine tools.

I know this because I have been to his auctions since 2015, pre-Covid in person when you could inspect the items, during and post-Covid online when he had to switch to photos.

Okay I guess I'll see as soon as they post clear hi-res photos of their auction items.

As far as the common tactic of mixing good with bad to come up with lots, well I stand by that statement 100%...
