Looks like an MSC brand or another "store" branded tool and cutter grinder.
Probably Taiwanese. Seems like a good deal to me.

If it's a local pickup, probably ok. Unless you really believe the unit
has a 30' table.

You might want to pay cash when you pick up. Take a good look before
paying.

I agree I looked at enco and they sell one that looks just like it, this one
seems to have a different tool holder, maybe some sort of option, any how I
will be bringing cash when picking up.

Where are you going to fit the "30 ' trable"? That's
a huge trable!

So you don't take the Ebay bid-as-contract thing seriously?

Take a good look before BIDDING. Once you've bid you're obligated
to pay.

If the item is as said then yes its (as you call it) a contract. If its NOT
as advertised then no its not a deal. I have done my share of ebay and am
honest on what I sell, if someone missrepresents what they are selling well
thats no good. I once won a "running tractor" well at pick up it had a bad
rod knock, the hydro drive was leaking like a tin can near dick cheney so no
thats not something I will pay for do to the seller not being honest.

Here is the MSC one that I was thinking of:

http://www1.mscdirect.com/CGI/NNSRIT?PMPXNO=1803254&PMT4NO=5138848

Looks about the same. For 300 bucks I would expect that it has a couple of
issues. Let's face it, it wasn't a Cincy Monoset or a K.O. Lee to start
with, but I think it's a very good deal. Seems the sellers negative
feedback was over a lost item and some slow shipping. Which shouldn't be a
factor on a pick up.

What are you planning on using it for? It's a small 1/2 HP single phase
machine, so it's probably better suited to sharpening than making tools
from a blank. But if you're not in a hurry, I suppose you could make tools
from scratch.

I would use it to sharpen tools not make any. It would sit in the corner
most of its life, but when I need it will be there. The price seems good, I
did talk to some one today that has seen the machine and he said its in very
good shape, i hope to pick it up monday.

If the item isn't as described then the seller has already violated the
contract. As such, no reason for Wayne to throw his money away.

If the item is as described, yes, he's ethically bound to pay for and
take the item. If it's not, then best case, shake their hand & agree
not to complete the transaction, worst case you both take a neg.
