A company is offering to sell me some Cincinnati #2 tool and cutter
grinders.

I looked on ebay and I see a lot of dreamers hoping to get a lot of
money for them, but no actual sales.

This is a little bit of a giveaway to the situation, but I want to ask
anyway, how much are those things worth?

Also, how can I ascertain their condition?

With or without the tooling? I wouldn't give much more than scrap if
no tooling. These are pretty low demand machines. Industry don't want
them at all, not a real high demand for hobbyists.

Shop eBay for tooling value, worth more than the machine.

Just a data point, I gave $2000 for a fully tooled (enough for two
machines) Cincinatti monoset a while back. This is better than a #2
cause its more versatile. But about the same value.

OK, I got it, I will go and see what is the situation.
