Mini Bench Top Metal lathe, $900, Mundare, AB

It's very similar to a Vevor 7x (it's made by RealBull). Seller doesn't state whether it's a 7x12 vs 7x14, which seems strange. New similar lathe from Vevor is about $700 delivered? Price seems a bit high to me, unless you would be making all the tooling choices the seller did - which I wouldn't. (Metal change gears, cheaper piston QCTP, brazed carbide tools, etc etc.) If it's working perfectly, it means the seller has done a lot of tuning up and adjusting, which could be a plus. But the tooling choices and the appearance of the machine combined with a 'firm price' seller.....
