Someone needs to tell hueygm not to sit there out bidding people, just drives the price up too early! $3300 to date.

What did it cost in 1999 when he purchased it?

What did it cost in 1999 when he purchased it?

I bought my short bed VL300 with extension bed about then and I think I paid just over $5k so he would have been paid about that amount to.

[Groggy]

Is $5000 the cost of just the lathe or would it include the chucks and rests too?

Greg if you check the other thread Stirlo did a pricing on its value.

[Groggy]

I meant in 1999 pricing, Stirlo costed it at todays prices I think (did a good job too :2tsup: ).

[ss_11000]

Greg...by todays pricing it works out to over 8.5 K

interesting question greg. does anyone know how much the prices have gone up. according to dj the lathe it self went up by a grand.

[Groggy]

Thanks Stirlo, so I guess it is fair to assume he paid somewhere between $5000-7000 for the lot in 1999?

Drat, back later, power failure here and my laptop is dying now.

At that price the buyer got a bargain for a great lathe and the extras.

$5k was just for the lathe in 1999 pricing

Th wife's VL300 cost about $3,800 about 4-5 years ago. Sounds like a good buy. In Carbatec's 2007 cat they are $5,495.

Just work out the plus's and minus's of it before you do it. She could be very understanding but then again....

I was once hounded for a birthday present - "All i want is flowers, dont buy me anything else" - so i gave her a packet of seeds and told her she could get the pleasure of watching them grow as well as flower, i told her she could spend a lot of time really enjoying them.

I have been divorced for over 12 years now.......

"All i want is flowers, dont buy me anything else".......Just for anyone new to marriage - it's a trap, don't fall for it.:oo:

That reminds me, anyone wanna compare scars :D
