I have had a wood shop for most of my 78 years, not a newcomer/beginner. I have many pieces of machinery including a two head CNC Router. I have sold many pieces also. None ever leave my shop without a do-over to make them like new. Professionals from all walks of life have been in our shops and wonder if we use the machinery because it is so pristine. Fine machinery, just like fine quality product, has made our company a lot of money. Am I proud of that? You bet and the machinery I buy will look as near to brand new when I sell it as it can be.

BTW: Even though we are retired, the shop operates 12 to 14 hours a day 7 days a week from July to February. What do I do the remainder of my time? Pound leather and enjoy life.

That is my .02

Ihave to agree with you guys about the grease and oil and chipped paint! First of all to me that gives a piece of equipment some character. All of my old equipment have been used by me for over 40 years and all look like they have been used but are in A-1 shape. My old Landis 3 and Landis 16 stitchers need paint but I don't think it would make them sew any better. My old 5 in 1 and splitters and other machines have been great pardners over the years and look their age like their owner, but are used flawlessly 6 days a week! It seems to me that it is always the beginners and part-timers that want to tell you what your machinery is worth, while most don't have enough to even call a shop. Guess I'll just hang on to my old stuff before I let amatuers set the price of their worth! Just my 2 cents worth!

Grease/oil it really well. Make sure the knife is good. Your price us more than fair.
