Re: 1800 for $3K in Hickory NC

Joe,

Like you mentioned earlier - the price a LOM will bring is dependent on its location AND the location of folks that are SERIOUSLY interested in it.  If one or two interested folks live w/in 100 miles - seller will "score" with a higher price.  On the other hand, if seller is out in the middle of a "woodworker desert" (Odessa, TX?) - they will find they have to lower their expectations.  There will be exceptions, but I think it is like lots of other things that get sold (houses, land, etc.) - it is all about "Location" relative to the buyers.  I would have thought there'd be folks in NC interested.

While we are looking at this Mod 1800, I have a question.  I have a Mod 1000 and the tailstock is not installed like it is on this Mod 1800. (Mine looks like his - just attached to side rails with "open" side down.)  Look at pictures 6 and 7 of 17.  Has the owner installed that red tailstock piece upside down? (Or is mine upside down?)  If his is upside down - what is the reason? Advantage?  Perhaps I may need to flip mine - how about yours?

this is the same 1800 that rgoldner was selling that belonged to burney ward...there are a couple of posts regarding this machine that were last commented on about ten days ago...seems this piece is not getting any interest, which is what some of us were referring to in a  recent post...is it the price?...is it the location?...machine seems to have a number of options and accessories...anyone have any input as to what this machine might be worth?...difficult question...it would be one value if you are an occasional user/hobbyist...and perhaps another if you are using it it in a furniture making shop...i am relatively new to having a legacy piece of equipment, so my opinion would be based on my recent purchases...but i'll take a stab at it and say 2,500.00...anyone else care to offer an opinion?...joe biunno
