In the condition shown, I'd estimate the the value of the lathe and its
accessories to be somewhere between $1500 and $1750 dollars. Were it
me, I'd offer him $1500 for everything, and have the cash with me. A
few hundred one way or another doesn't bother me, however, I'd suggest
that in view of the wrench shown laying across the ways, you would be
well advised to check out the ways and the headstock bearing play very
closely.

If after close inspection, you can work out a purchase agreement with
the seller at the above price, you'll be getting a good lathe and
sufficient tooling and accessories to start doing real projects. The
accessories and tooling shown in the photo are on their own worth more
than $500.

Good luck in whatever you decide.
