Ya, ridiculous, I find these offensive. I almost want a board dedicated to ridiculously overpriced stuff.

Forget the price, the color scheme is offensive enough to keep them in his possession for a while I would think.....

Something about the pictures makes it look like its a miniature or travelling salesman model. I am sure its not, just how it appears to me.

Reminds me of mini's I've seen on Vevor.

Is it just me or does that first photo look like a scale model of a 13x18 Standard Modern?

Wow! That lathe would cost more than both my lathes, milling machine, cutter grinder, welder, bandsaw etc combined!! Holy lathe Batman, the Joker is posting on Kijiji! BIFF BAM BOOM!

Its a filter, to simulate the look you can get with a tilt and shift lens. They're not models or miniatures

It's probably a perfectly good lathe, but as far as I can tell S/M hasn't made this model since the late 70s, so $13K for a four-decade-old 13"x18" lathe seems a bit steep. If I had that type of coin for a lathe, I don't think it would be huge stretch to find a used Monarch 10EE or a used newer S/M or Kent for a similar amount.

A brand new Kent 13x40 is $22K CDN from KBC

If this was a "barnfind" factory new, still wrapped and on the pallet with all the extras it might be worth it to some one. The paint job just doesn't add $9k + to the value.

As much as I love mine and wouldn't trade for any other machine, still wouldn't pay that kind of money for it.

Now, just as info, this was originally marketed as a 13x20 or an 11x20. I've done a far amount of research on SM and this lathe and haven't come across a 13x18.
