Sure, no problem if you make it for £805.
It's their way of getting Ebay fees down, you don't pay fees on shipping. One thing about this Portsmouth mob is that the machines are in country and you won't get hit by any import, handling or VAT.

To be honest you would be hard pressed to make one for this total amount even if you threw your labour in at zero

I live an hour from Portsmouth so have emailed them to see if i could pick up. see what that say.

Yes it does get the fees down, but you then get marked down on the DSR, and this will then effect your ability to sell on ebay.

Just as an exercise to satisfy my curiosity I set about working the cost of building this machine complete with VFD etc and think it could be made for around 1K. Thou that would be with no labour involved plus as usual there'll be something I've over looked.!!

THOU. . . Must say It be a far better, stronger machine because I've priced for profile on gantry and supported rails all round and better quality ballscrew supports FK/FF also the spindle would be 1.5KW.

Like I say Just an Exercise so don't anyone get excited I'm not offering. .:nope: If you have the time then it's just about do-able.! . . . . If you want Profit then forget it.
