Saw this posted on Craigs list... sounds like a good deal if you live close enough and are looking for one. https://denver.craigslist.org/tls/5859128650.html

This is a wonderful Big Boy lathe! Someone is going to be smiling soon!

Fake ad if it's in Iowa & the ad is in Denver.
Classic CL scam.

For a lathe like that the seller is counting on someone being willing to travel a bit. The seller probably has this running in all major cities that he thinks people will be willing to travel from.

That is some setup.

Shazzam! If you get a long mandrel you could turn about 10 pens at once on that one.

That's definitely nice, but at 14 feet, I'd have to set it up in the yard... won't fit in my shop.
