The lathe went for 6200, I am no expert on those but that seems a high.

plus fees!

but im not sure either, thats a big a$$ lathe, a td-6 is a 16" swing...so whats a td-7? maybe its worth all of that 6200$

you could say they got sausaged!

otoh, decent shape, good size, Taiwanese so probably reasonably well made and a bunch of tooling. On a different day you might get it $1500 cheaper, but in a small market, maybe that means a five year wait.

For $0.82 per day, maybe just go for it and get what you want. (the salesman's trick of reduce it to the the ridiculous is an important arrow in the HSMs quiver of justifications )
