Might be too good to be true.

How does the scam work? Do they jump me for my cash when I show up to buy it? I get that the price screams scam I just can't figure out how the scam works.
 
They will tell you other people are supposed to get it, but if you are really interested they will hold it for you if you send a deposit. Whoever sends the deposit first will get the lathe

Except there is no lathe, no address, they likely aren't even in that city, and whatever deposit you send you will never see again
 
Hard to figure why the paint is so nice and the tooling is rusted, or is that cosmoline?

Either way it sounds like either a scam or it's stolen.
