A very old and reliable business practice is that the profit is made at the
purchase, not at the sale.

Wow, I'd be REAL careful investing $10K on speculation on a machine.
The risk is you fix it up great and then can't find a buyer. Now, if you
find a machine, and KNOW you have a buyer for it once it is in good shape,
that is a much better position to be in.
