yes it is my opinion

 

[PowerTool]

Yes,definitely - average HSS chisels are £15 - £20 each,so just the chisels and the chuck would cost about £500 if bought new.
If they are all in good condition,its like getting the lathe and accesories for free

Could double opening price I would think, wish it was nearer me.

Could double opening price I would think, wish it was nearer me.

I would think closer to three times - I would bid if I didn't already have a variable speed Sorby lathe......

If it goes for anything near that starting price that would be an amazing buy. At double that plus hiring a van and a round trip of 7-800 miles I would probably consider it if I hadn't just booked next years hols

[SVB]

It went for £650 - At that price it should be collected on horseback with the new owner in a mask!!!

A real result for the winner, so is there a ak200ultra among us??

:lol:

 

[stairman]

well Wife stated the turning course we are going on in a weeks time was to decide if we liked woodturning and there for we should not buy anything till after
I managed to perswad her to let me put a bid of £560 which I upped top £610
The winning bid was but in in the last few seconds and could possibly have had a £2000 max on it

So who is the highway man those that did not bid and push up the price or the lucky sod that won it
