If it wasn't 3000 miles away I would snag this deal in a heartbeat, but these things are heavy and shipping would be a killer.
Best of luck.

It's looks like a good deal, but I'd want to inspect it before buying. I ran into this guy at an auction earlier this summer and he was buying large quantities of what I would consider junk and paying way too much for it.
I'm also suspicious there may be a connection with Al Babin. Babin was selling a Monarch lathe I was interested in several months ago. It sold with Buy It Now, and it showed up with a fresh coat of paint a few weeks later for sale by marjenmachines. It more than likely was a legitimate sale, but anything involving Al is suspect. The fact that he's in Al's neighborhood, and just popped up and is doing hundreds of auctions (a known Babin MO), and actually seeing what he was buying makes me a liitle nervous. On the other hand, he seems to be doing a better job in the feedback dept. than the typical Babinette.

You know in all this time I find it hard to believe that no one has ever gone to visit him personally.

Have you noticed how these enviros have become alarmed by the proliferation of large carnivores in the boonies? I saw one remark to the effect that bears, for example, do not seem to know their place on the "food chain." Why should they? Only man comes up with ideas like a food chain, and with man the idea only makes sense because man is armed. Without his weapons, man is by no means at the top of any food chain. On the contrary, he is down in fourth or fifth spot, depending upon the environment in which he lives. Primitive man was under no illusions about this, nor are the backwoods folk in India today. To a tiger, man is a morsel, as these unarmed joggers seem to be to a cougar, upon occasion. Man is man because he is always armed. That is something they do not teach in kindergarten, nor for that matter in high school. A youth becomes a man when he is first presented with his own personal weapon. That is his right of passage, and those who do not understand that are questionable members of a free society. - Jeff Cooper's Commentaries, Vol. 9, No. 7, July, 2001

Several people have reported meeting him directly. The general consensus has been that he has improved somewhat, but not very much.

OK, Gunner. A guy asks a simple question, and you launch into the grandest of non-sequiters. Once upon a time, you said that you never miss a chance to piss off a "liberal". Now I think you've shown yourself to be just nuts.
To the original poster: Al Babin is a guy who has been associated with several different "companies" doing business on the internet, dealing in machine tools. Many, many people have had very bad experiences dealing with him, though there have been a very few satisfied customers. I think that what Mr. Gunner was trying to say is that if you think Al Babin is involved, you would be better off taking your business elsewhere.
