I find it somewhat suspect that this refurbished machine is only 1750 USD. I have a feeling its more like 17500 USD.

Yes even it is a nice paint job on junk you'd think the time and effort to do so would almost be worth that. I think 17500 is much more likley.

Well we'll find out as I messaged the seller.

Well if you get it for $1750 I'll double your money if you drop it off at my place as it travels by.

I was looking at a Rockford Lathe in Montreal. Seller has not been very co-operative in that I believe they are in a financial mess. Two trucks off the road because of inspection issues. Having to clear a warehouse and store machines outside because he can get more rent than the machine sales will pay. and so on... He has a lot of equipment that might go really cheap, The Rockford is not in the warehouse they need to clear.... See link below...

Nah, just wanted to establish that the price wasn't a typo.

Yeah, that price is bonkers unless it's in a basement and the buyer needs to move it out, lol.

Some one in Ontario take a drive down then. I would just wire him the money and go there from Alberta but I am afraid this could be a scam.

I mean the machine would easily sell in AB in described excellent condition for $10,000.
