Thoughts on his craigslist buy?

The guy is right near me. Lathe is an MT1, though. He wants $600 foreverything.

Good? Bad? He said he's willing to negotiate.

I might would pick up the blanks and kits, but the rest I would pass on.

I'd pass on the lathe. I see them around here for $125 all the time. You can buy a new Rikon for $199.00 right now at Woodcraft or other outlets. That leaves you lots of money to buy pen turning tools, a pen drilling chuck, a good live center, a dead center, polish, CA glue, epoxy, etc.

I guess what I'm saying is I don't think that is a very good deal.
