i'm saw it but don't know what to offer the guy,

Not a bad looking single phase vertical mill on eBay... too far away for me

Really? $1800 for a Chinese round column mill with no powerfeeds? While it might be perceived as adequate for many home shops, I don't reckon it is any benchmark for value. Not by a long shot.

That said, I too am guilty of listing things on ebay for a large fraction of their acquisition costs. But I never ask more than 50% of retail, usually much, much less.

Great looking lathe.
Emailed the guy about price, he expects at least $1500

That general type of mill isn't bad. I found one for a friend of mine some years ago for $1500 but it was 3 phase & had power feed. Taiwanese manufacture. Quite a nice machine really. This one - yeah, I think $1800 is pushing it but I'd rather have one of these than any of the non-knee mills. Dead easy to fit a riser block to increase Z clearance too.

It's already been listed once at that price & got no bids at all.

FWIW It's not a Chinese machine, it's made in Taiwan.

Watch the price go up on the Hercus.

This is another oldie. I still find amazement at how these big heavy machines sit on tiny spindly legs

From the Q&A that was a BIN deal.

What was the BIN price? It's gone away now so I can't tell. I just want to know what the max savings someone thought they might make are.

the BIN price on the 260 was $1300 . if it was in Melbourne I already buy it as I in the market for the lathe like that my self . can't understand why people bid on it instead of just hit the BIN . i'm sure it will go more than the BIN price in the end .
Peter

I didn't see the BIN price but if it was $1300 and I was looking for a new lathe, that would of been a good gamble. I reckon it'll go for twice that price.

Well come on, you know that is just not true... A lot of the good stuff is in Melbourne... To a lesser extent Sydney, then Adelaide, Brisbane, Perth....
