on popular auction site for £185, checked on here and similar lathes go for far less, but unsure if this is what would be expected.

difficult to get sold prices as they vary so much and also depends a lot on how local, not much use having one sold for £100 if it is 400 miles away!

It is probably about right, if it runs as it should. The chisels won't be great but may be good enough to get you going. The blanks are prob best saved until you get the hang of it, and if you don't like turning then you won't lose much on it if you sell it on. You could do worse than this if it is local, but I wouldn't travel for hours to collect it- it isn't that much of a bargain.
