Default How much is Lagun FTV-4 worth?

There is a local seller who has Lagun FTV-4 mill for sale. It's made in early 80s. Has
powerfeed on 3 axis and 2 Axis MiniWizard DRO. It's in relatively good shape.
If you extend the spindle all the way, clamp it, and then push it with all your weight
it'll deflect 0.002" Is it normal for such large mill?

How much approximately this mill might worth?

Thanks

No. Sounds like machine is clapped out.
