I probably would have picked the 2557 just cuz I've always liked 'em, but you'll have great fun with the SB too

The guy with the 2775 was hinky as hell, otherwise that was my top choice too...
It was on CL for over 2 months. I called him at 11:15, he said come right down before 12 because he was going out to eat with someone and wouldn't be back until 1. I couldn't make it before 12, so I told him I'd be there between 1:15 and 2pm. I got to his door at 1:45. His place was in this enclosed industrial complex and the guys from all the other shops (6 or so) were outside and stopped what they were doing to watch me come in and walk to his door. They seemed to be just watching me. It was bizarre. All work stopped while I was there.
I knocked on the door, could tell someone was inside but they weren't answering. I texted, called and waited about 15min. Nothing...
As I was driving out of the place, my phone rang and the guy with the 2775 told me "someone just gave him a deposit." I think he was outside watching me... I think the Lathe may have been stolen and I didn't look like the right buyer to sell it to. My wife thinks they were going to rob me but I'm a pretty big guy and probably didn't look like I had the money on me because I didn't have a way to take the lathe away right then.
Needless to say... No on the 2775.
It was seriously the weirdest experience I've had buying stuff on CL and the Recycler before that, in CA and Texas. And I've bought things in way tougher neighborhoods than that.
This is all sort of off topic, but I wanted to share to remind everyone to be safe out there and protect yourself not just from harm but from potential legal hassles down the road.
