Value is proportional to what someone believes its worth. I was going to post some feedback on the price but someone beat me to it.

If something doesnt look like its been cared for, then there will be questions about how the item has been used (and/or abused).

So taking a £2500 risk hoping for the best is crazy.

Plus, let's put some things into perspective. These Denfords make nice DIY machines however, yours has the 6 ATC instead of the 8 ATC, has the top flood coolant instead of the full tank coolant and looks as scruffy and abused as hell. It will need a fair bit of work, likely a retrofit and this all adds up.

Sorry but this is not a £2500 machine. If you disagree, no problem. Probably explains the lack of interest.

For reference, mine was bought for similar money and was in a lot better condition. I needed to retrofit it but it was worth it as the machine was clean and had only seen light use.

Entirely up to you. It might be worth considering to break it. If you did, Id be interested in some parts for my new mill.
