Craigslist funny time!

Blows my mind someone thought that conglomeration of junk was a going to be a viable business. Looks like some instagram kid's wet dream.

It looks like they bought whatever they could get on credit. Cheap China Stuff, but wait...... its Brand new so it must be good, right?

I had a guy tell me he was looking at buying a tormach surface grinder brand new. I told him he could get a Harig Super 612 cheaper and its a much better machine. He told me if the tormach breaks he can get parts easily and it has a warranty. I told him I have had mine for 30+ years and never needed to fix or adjust anything on it.

Some people think "New" means good.

I had a laugh when they called it a state of the art facility. Looks like some gun nuts thought they would have a better idea than the legacy firearms manufacturers do. 3D printer and some toymachs and we will be rich before you know it!!!

It was bad enough looking through the pics at all this un-used equipment, but then when you look at the list, you find out that there are MULTIPLES of each item!

I was curious about the location of that "firearms manufacturer." The address is 44 Hull Street, Randolph, VT and that is a huge building with multiple tenants. One is https://vermonthempprocessing.com/about-us/ a company that is involved with hemp and not the kind from which rope is made.

I did find two FFL holders listed at that address, but looks like that business did not last long. Those machines do not look like they could make small arms ammunition.

that drill set is a deal

One could easily make a manufacturing line by just adding controls and feeds, Just 80 miles away I should consider making an offer.
I met a fellow in Detroit who was making a good living using two simple drill presses that were rigged automatic and running drill-and-tap of a small part.
Yes, a vibrator feeder at one end and a big bin at the other end of his homemade line in his basement.

I used to make special hollow knife drills for fiberous rubber parts

Bundles of banknotes--money destruction before transportation.........its cheaper to destroy notes and send them as general freight than use secure transport.

Speaking of Hemp did anyone else notice the auction website is https://www.thcauction.com/ LOL
They must've been stoned and maxed out a line of credit discussing some business venture.
But in all seriousness I'm in Bethel, one town over, on occasion. I'm going to poke my head in there to satisfy my curiosity.

A Springdefiled!

Having done a few rather nice rustoleum paint jobs on machines in my day, the biggest question that comes to me looking at this ad, is when they were in the paint aisle at Lowes, looking at prices, trying to find the cheapest thing to slobber their machine with, why didn't they go with the machine gray rustoleum instead of the safety blue?

I wonder if they were like "Well, gray, that's no good. That's just what they'll be suspecting a used machine to be painted. I'll trick 'em. I'm going for Retina Blasting Blue! It'll look just like a new machine when I'm done!"

That's what I think happened. But who's to say.

Afaik there has to be an unknown to most of us rule somewhere that all used lathes some noob/rip off artist is trying to flip for 10X it's actual value have to be painted with that blue porch paint that's always applied with a broom. I suspect the poor aesthetics choice matches the machines condition exactly. Even worse are the one's painted with various clown car colors. I could buy a hell of a decent lathe already well tooled up for his $6200 and not in this lifetime price.

Got to give that lathe guy some credit..he didn't paint the floor.

The really expensive ones are always neon blue, so if you are going for top dollar, paint it neon blue

Screw that! I'm adding LED Underglow lights to any lathe I sell, along with a foxtail on the tailstock . In fact, I'll tie the whole fox to the machine. It'll be just like that song: Foxy Lathey...

Lol,

And he only got minimal paint on the ways too!

I was really interested in this masterpiece of blue perfection until I noticed that he forgot to paint the spot on the back where the carriage was sitting when he painted the rest of it. Guess I'll keep looking...
