I've actually done that. Mostly to the U.S, where filling out that customs declaration is akin to declaring your self a terrorism supporter. And drop in a line like "those things are almost none existant down here, I'd have paid anything for it". You never hear back from them, but I put it down to the educating the ebay community. That guy was happy to post internal with in the U.K. So he was happy to go to the post office any way.
An extra 2 minutes to fill out the customs form wouldn't hurt him, if it means a higher sell price.
Regards Phil.

Hard to tell what it might be like with that blurred photo, but if he thinks that you could pick it up with a car trailer, I think he must mean the sort that car dealers have their new cars delivered on. On the PM site one owner of a DSG 17T with a 72 inch bed says that's his lathe weighs 4.5 tons, so you certainly wouldn't want to turn up any old tandem trailer behind the family Kingswood or even a Landcruiser. I wonder what he has planned to get it onto the trailer, it will want to be pretty serious lifting tackle.
Edit.
Sorry guys, didn't notice that there were extra posts on a new page, but a few more noticed the trailer reference too I see.
Rob.

Judging by all the smoke and noise i recon the engine died just up the hill like it tossed a rod and seized or just locked up obvious he comes back down out of gear and brakes are about 60 -70% efficient in reverse[ drum brakes that is] Cheers john. ps [a boy on a man's errand].

I like the sellers response to the question about wear on the lathe.
"I TOOK EVERYTHING A PART, I FIX IT ,I PAINT IT ,PUT IT BACK TOGETHER. NOTHING TO BEE WORRY ABOUT ! " BETTER TO HAVE TOOLS YOU DON'T NEED THAN TO NEED TOOLS YOU DON'T HAVE

1/4hp motor???!?! Ive got an eggbeater more powerful than that. Saddle clamp (at least the bolt) is missing, bell-nuts on the end of the handles have been replaced, the rack gear's screws have been replaced and are sitting proud, something wierd is going on with the leadscrew geartrain cowl and its little aftermarket locking plate thingy, the bed has that gouge in it...
I really get irked when someone replaces the bellnuts on the end of the slide screws. They are #12-24 UNC and its close enough to get a 1/4in nut to do the job if youre a goose. Ive had a few blokes at decentish engineering supply shops try to tell me that 7/32 nuts are unobtainable and to just use the 1/4in and go with the flow. Ive also seen a machine where someone did just that and got a little excited tightening it up. Now the handle is held on with a screw that threads into a hole that isnt even on centre. All this because someone can't be arsed to grind a $5 screwdriver in the first place to do the job right.
I think youre right rob, a burning is about to happen.

I guess this is the thread to post on.
Not eBay but for June and July, BOC have a special on their 40 amp Plasma Cutter at $385 inc GST. They price the torch separately but up here at Rocklea in Brissy, they are doing a deal on the torch too.The total package came in at $606 but I am waiting for the torch to come up from Sydney.
The going rate on eBay for the cheapies is now up to about $450 from what I could work out and the BOC one has 60% duty cycle which is well up on a lot of the Chinese ones. Looking at the Unimigs and Tradetools ones, you don't get much Change out of $1k locally so I thought it was a pretty good deal, particularly seeing as I won't need to pay for it until next month's statement is due!
