MYFORD ML SPEED 10

I really don't think you need to accept an offer at that price Neil, it's already a very good deal.

some " kind person" has already offered me £600 as that, he said, was all it was worth to him..............he didn't like my reply, lol.

Hi Neil,

The old saying something is only worth what someone is prepared to pay for it !! the machinery dealers down south would offer you £250 spend a day polishing it up and put it up for £1250, that's business or something

Regards Ray

It really gets under my skin when I hear of people so called "Trying to do you a favour" when, in reality they want to simply turn something round to make a quick profit. If there is any profit to be made it is rightfully yours! There are plenty of places to try to sell the lathe Neil, where there are more appreciative audiences before even considering lowering the price.

I love the line "What it was worth to him!" he would have got a mouthful from me as well!

Neil, would you mind me posting a link to your thread on a couple of other forums I am a member of?

not at all Richard, please go ahead............couple of bottles of fine red australian for you if it sells. thanks.

Hi Neil,

I'm not too sure you realise what you have. Apart from the tooling, the lathe has a a four station tool holder and an index wheel on the manual lead screw feed handle. At the time both these simple items were optional extras at an additional cost. Try and buy then today, it will make you're eyes water. Stick to your price.
