From the pics its hard to tell, maybe he needs the cash to buy a camera.
Best to see it in person before you do anything.
Not long ago I had a full hot tub on craigslist, it needed work but was ready to go. FOR FREE
People wanted a super great unit ready to go. 5 people came and went. A nice mexican kid from 100 miles away called and asked asked if I would hold it for him and he came, had it in the truck in and down the road it went. He got a good deal for free and did not dicker over it. he said he could fix it up easy and was happy.
Go see it and give what you think its worth when you see it in person. for all we know it may be worth more and you get a good deal.

I just thought someone else on the forum might be interested. It's way too big for me.

Craigs List advertisers are among the worst.
Half the time you never will receive a reply to email inquires.
If it had not said lathe, I would have had to guess on what it is.
