Another Cheap? SS on eBay

Post by PG-Zac »

This appears to be an '80's model rough gray with a toggle switch directly above the speed control.

Only Lathe & Sander (no saw or table) Corrosion seems minor.

Pickup only in Chardon Ohio (located 30 Miles east of Cleveland)

Selling with no reserve - currently at $20.50 with 3 days to go.

EDIT - Sorry, I forgot to add the address.

I saw that one PG and if I wasn't 15 hours away from there I would be all over that even though I don't really need another one. I have been having way too much fun restoring my Greenie.

that unit will bring several hundred dollars when the "hammer" drops. there are a half dozen ebay sellers in northeast ohio that will "snipe" that unit. in the last several seconds it will go wild. it's not mine, i am less than an hour from it though but i have always had to venture three states away to get deals on units. just my $.02 bob

Only 2 hours left on this auction, and the current price is

$56

It probably will increase in price, but Maybe it will end up below $150.

It went for $158.50.

I got out at $50, because it was a long drive anyway.

IMHO it was missing way too many parts to to make it worth more than what it went for.

Whoever bought it will probably get their 'investment' back upon selling the motor. All the other 'parts' are profit!

Unfortunately WE are competing with resellers. Speaking from experience this week, the 'stuff' I was bidding on has already begun to trickle back on to e-bay! We were the only two bidders! Sadly I was not 'available' at 'closing'(snipe) time!
