    What was it before?

    With a lathe price of $1600 new from GPW the "centre steady-Vermec external index system and many extras" must be valued at a lot to get to that asking price.

    edit Just found the re-listed lathe , strange that the original listing is still running.

    That sounds more reasonable, I thought $8500 Buy It Now was just a bit over the top!

    Had me a little perplexed at first then saw the second listing. Pity it's in WA, might have had a bid.

    Out of curiosity I just looked at this and the price has now been changed to the same as the other listing, but they are both still listed.

    Pictures look the same to me

    I think this guy has bolloxed up the listing, have just emailed him to clarify if he has 'two' lathes, not one.

    This was his response to an e-mail I sent him yesterday!
    There were two ads put in, one was a mistake asking eight thousand plus, but a correct ad was put in with the asking price of $840 or buy now $895. The extras being a centre steady, Vermec external index system, some chisels, face plates, soft drive, screw chuck, two spare belts, and various tool rests.

    I'm glad he didn't end the auction because I'm picking it up today at a nicer price than first quoted.

    Cheers
