On a few machines I've sold and or given away, Its like you say - here in Vegas is tough... LoL if they're selling a machine its worth a fortune , but if your selling then it's worth half - just amazing isn't it.Out in the vegas area - it is a machinery desert. Very little interest in the buying and selling of machines. I'm guessing that using Facebook marketplace here wont be of much help (for a a machine at this price range).
I have found that people will come from other areas to buy so long as your patient about it - You're going to take a hit in my opinion - with only a hand full of users here and to people willing to make the trek - its a buyers market.
Being budget minded If I was in the market for an expensive lathe like the 1340GT - I may pay you 7500.00 as listed on PMs site assuming its in excellent condition and, expect the stand and chuck to come with it as my its a used lathe bonus , if not id save a little bit more buy new for the full warranty, Not being snide but there are plenty of alternatives in that price range that people on a budget will consider...
Time is your friend and the right person with a need may pay more if they cant wait. I believe most people wont even consider tax & shipping as part of the equation when determining price on used equipment, I would start out by asking 8.5k including the stand & chuck, any other tooling i'd use to sweeten the deal for the sale and just wait till the right person comes along, just be patient.
I just got the 1236T basically the same machine from pm that all tallied up was just over 9k delivered, still on the crate and never used I bet I could maybe get 8k unless the right person came along and was also willing to reimburse me the tax and shipping 1k. but I would expect and be thrilled to get 7K if I needed the space and wish to sell it in a month or two..
I was born and raised here, this is a transient town so It's very hit or miss - timing as you know is everything.
Just my 2 Cents....
