It's a lathe wanted, just very, very specific.

Funny. I never posted the original ad here, I thought it was overpriced. Apparently someone else did too.

There was a 12x36 Craftsman with a QCGB and more tooling in the North Bay a few days ago listed for $300. It was up for less than 24 hours, this one has been up for almost 2 weeks so somewhere between $300 and $1450 would seem to be "the right price". The guy wanting to pay $700 probably isn't far off.

I've noticed quite a few very optimistically priced machines the past couple months. Maybe people hoping to raise Christmas money? Do the prices drop in the Spring when people are trying to clear out garages and storage units after the weather turns nice?
 
This lathe just showed up again, still asking $1450

Yeah, that's Craigslist.

Buyers that want the moon and sellers asking for the stars. What I wonder though is how many people who think something is overpriced actually show up with cash in hand. I've had buyers ask what my lowest price is, I tell them to come by with hundred dollar bills and we'll see :grin:
