I've always wanted one of those. I've seen a few here and there but not for anything less than around $700. Pretty handy to have around. Incredible that the guy wanted $1,400 and you got him down to $400. Wish I could have seen the look on that other idiot's face when you walked away with it for the same price he was offering.

Just got an email from the guy he found some other stuff he overlooked and needed my address so he can send it all to me . Think I'm going to send the guy something for all this out of the blue I'm almost feeling guilty . But sweet jesus it's nice to win one once in a while .

Once in a while life just smiles on you and I had one of those days today . 
I've been looking for a 3 in 1 home shop mill/drill lathe combo machine for a long while with no luck I'm always behind the reseller guys for some reason it's like they are there when the ad's posted .
I answered an ad a couple days go on a nice rig and got the call to come see it this morning guy said a few others were hot on it too . I told him on the phone what I wanted it for we talked shop a bit and off I go for an 1hr drive not holding my breath it would still be there .
I pull up and there 3 guys having a real cat & dog back and forth , found the owner gave my name and this Persian sob shoulders in front and almost shouts at the guy " I give you $400 now , I here first is mine " . Listed price was $1400 with a load of extra's and nice bench , the onwer looks at me says " you want this for yourself not to sell right ? Give me $400 it's yours " looking straight at the pushy ***** playing the lo ball game . Mid east boys got all upset over that but made my day .
Got a 2 yr old machine that lists for $2000 and at least that much in extra tooling , fixtures and needed tools for machining for $400 .
I'll post the real pics once it's set up .

That is one heck of a tool, you got a good deal! I'd probably cut a finger off using it. Can you make me a widget for my bike?
