I don't understand this....this lathe is nothing like a Maxi 1, how can it possibly be mistaken for  Record Power, Chinese made lathe which is green and looks nothing like this?

I suspect that this is a con and there isn't a lathe for sale at all, just an attempt to con some poor woodturner out of some hard earned money!

bodrighywood:
It is a Woodfast lathe not a Record.  An australian make. Not sure where the Maxi 1 bit comes in.

Valkrider:
I am with Les I suspect a scam, if it looks too good to be true it usually is.
