Many thanks for
the work you did on preparing the ad for my father's lathe. You are worth every
penny of what you charge, and you can't often say that these days. I had 3
inquiries in a very short time after the ad appeared, and it finally went to a
lovely Irish gentleman who came and picked it up and took it to Dublin.
I also had a very serious inquiry from a West End production company who badly
wanted it as a prop on stage in a soon to be seen production of Faust. However,
my Irishman bought it first. Again many thanks for such a good job.
I want to thank
you for all the help you have given me. I could not have sold my machine
without your excellent advice. Terence
: Thanks, Tony. Over 20
enquiries, and sold immediately without any hassle ! Mike
Inundated with
enquiries. This has to be the best way to sell equipment; I'll be recommending
your site to others who want to sell machinery. Steve : After many enquiries
including the USA and Canada I sold the Myford for the asking price:
Thanks for your help - I will certainly use your site in the future. Alan
I purchased the
6" lathe in the USA from your sales page. Thanks for the site. I could not
find anything in the US or anywhere else as good. R. Wren : I received 3 phone calls and the Colchester
was sold last night to the first person to view for the full asking price. Jon
Found a very rare Boxford part thanks to your “Wanted Section” ! : Thank you
for identifying all the parts and listing them. A wonderful service. Janet : Let me take this opportunity
to thank you for all your expert help in compiling the adverts, etc. and in making
the selling experience so pleasurable and trouble free!
Having had no
response from a two-week advert in my local paper it was bought over the phone
a day after listing on lathes.co.uk –Peter
: Just to let you know that the
Centec has been sold for the full asking price, I also had a back up buyer !!!!
Many thanks for your most efficient service and the advice that you gave me
Thanks for identifying all the
mysterious parts and telling me what they do. I sold the lathe to an enthusiast
who had been searching for such a machine for a long time. David.

rust in the pictures, but they don’t - it’s an unfortunate trick of the
lighting. The lathe was dismantled into its large component parts for transport
when I moved house; I intended setting everything up again when new
accommodation was found - but it is without garage or workshop so the equipment
has to go. The items can be repacked back in their boxes for ease of lifting
and transportation. £1500

To place a
Wanted Advertisement please e-mail your requirements to: adverts@lathes.co.uk
We can't promise that every “Wanted” advertisement
will work as well as the following -
but you never know.
I thought you might like to know
that the last of my advertisements has been very successful, as were all the
others. This was a "Wanted Advert" for a Thiel high-speed vertical
head, It was only on your advice that it mentioned I would consider a “complete
machine” and, as a result, the foreman of **** University workshop (who was
viewing your site, looking for a woodturning lathe) spotted my ad and contacted
me. His workshop capacity was being reduced and I am now the proud owner of a
fully equipped Thiel 158 with the rare high-speed head, all the collets,
universal table and special Thiel circular table - all resplendent in unmarked
original paint. The university decided to keep the dividing head but I couldn't
grumble as everything was offered for just £100. I didn't negotiate! There was
even a handbook, spares catalogue and the
original test certificates.
So your site definitely works for
both Sales and Wants - and in my case knocks E-bay out of sight. Thank you for
an excellent service, Regards, Dave
Quatermain.
A note of caution when you are running a “Wanted”
advertisement – scammers are everywhere. If you are offered machines or parts and
the seller cannot send photographs (typically, they claim their ISP is playing
up) or want
paying by “Western Union” transfer (never send money this way to buy anything)
– you can be very, very rude to them. If in doubt, please refer their reply to
me: tony@lathes.co.uk
