Be bold, if the machine is what you say, it is either a once in a lifetime find or a misprint.
Exactly. This is the kind of deal you should by even if you don't want or need a lathe. If it's what you say it is, then you could easily double your money overnight just by reselling it instantly.
These are the kinds of ads that typically end in one of three ways.
1. It's simply gone before you can even call the number.
2. It was indeed a misprint and they were asking $2000 and not $200
3. It was some kind of trick where they are trying to get you to pay $200 down and mo. payments after that.
4. It isn't really as advertised and there are major parts missing or broken.
The 5th scenario is always possible, but a very lucky find when it happens.
5. The ad is for real, you got there first, and BINGO, you got a great deal!
#5 happens. Hopefully for you this will be the case. But #1 is far more likely if you're wasting time posting on the Internet asking if you should buy it.
