You have pretty much hit everything right on the head Joe. I have this wish that I had waited to buy one. I paid $3600 for everything and Harvey her in the Milwaukee area has a very nice one for $800. Hindsight is 20/20 they say. But as it is I hope to get up and running eventually. Right now I am looking at having a local person who has a large cnc do some sheet cutting for me. Then I can spend more time on spindles and mouldings.

I doubt anyone would be a buyer at $5,000... still overpriced... I would think $2,000 to $2,500 might get a sale, but it might take some time before a sale is realized, but even at that price, it is a reach... and you still have the old "location" problem and the expenses of picking up a machine... and would the buyer be interested in a purchase for a business reason or a semi-serious, home shop woodworker?... not a lot of hobby-ist type people can afford that price for a machine that, lets face it, even with the best of intentions, most likely will not use it very often... I have seen situations like this many times, most often at an auction, where the owner of a shop is retiring or simply closing down his shop for anyone of a number of reasons and thinks an auction of his equipment is going to provide a windfall of money... the person who is selling this Legacy is also selling a number of other machines and they are well over priced as well... usually not taken into account is the age of the machines, their inefficiency as compared to newer, modern machinery that can do the work faster, safer and better... let's not be swayed by the dozen-or-so, die hard Legacy owners who are the main force of this group. and who will most likely die owning their Legacy machines... selling this stuff is a difficult task and that is putting it mildly... just my opinions guys... and soon enough when the 3D printers and the CNC equipment become cheap enough, we won't be able to give our machines away... in the meantime, if anyone agrees with my thoughts and wants to send me their machine, please contact me privately...
