One other factor: desire. If you really like the looks and idea of that machine, then that's the ultimate decision maker. This is a hobby. Nothing we do is essential, it all has to do with our interest and curiosity, and inventiveness. :beer: |

Provided it's not damaged or badly worn then it will probably be a darn sight better than import stuff. If you can make some bits and it's in budget then being local is a bonus. I'd like to see you bring it up to spec if you decide to buy it! Good luck with whatever you decide to do! |

well it not got long left and still no bids think im going to pass though, iv spent most of the last 2 days arguing with myself over what to do and I don't think its the one for me. iv already got too many projects on the go none really need a mill, so im gonna save my cash and spend my time getting my lathe working properly befor making a few mods to it. that should keep me busy and get most of what I want to do done. looks like a good buy to anyone else though, and if it was just round the corner id have probably gone and got it already |

I used to casually browse ebay every now and then but I stopped doing it because seeing HOT DEALS made me panic (i'm not quite ready to buy a better lathe yet. I need to free up space if nothing else). I guess the thing to do is remember that these things come and go, but it's difficult in the heat of the moment. |

Well it sold for the Maiden bid of £300, doesnt sound like a lot, but it's your call, and we all know that the biggest hassle with these machines is moving them! Phil |
