Sold for £32 so someone got a bargain.
Look at the seller's feedback, the buyer left a comment. Looks like the seller backed out of the deal when he didn't get the desired price. It seem quite common machine tools go for a pittance because carriage is so problematic, as a result you effectively reduce the market significantly to people locally.

Had that in my favour a couple of months ago, picked up a Diamond fretsaw for £130. Seller admitted he had no idea what it was worth. I said to my mind he got a fair price, it's not a bargain but not a rip off either. But... if we had been in London and not 250 miles away he could have got double, simply because there are so many more potential buyers.
