Looks like it is still new.

Nice looking lathe, but a little pricey...

black85vette,

I agree with Chuck, a lot of money.

You can buy a LOT of lathe for that price.

Agree. I wasn't saying the price was right, just that it looked like it was in great condition for its age. It does have the "Best Offer" option so it may not go for the Buy It Now price. It may end up a good deal. There are 2 offers pending.

Just curious though, how much do you think it is worth?

My thinking is that $800 is about top dollar for an Atlas 6" lathe unless it has special tooling like a milling attachment.

The Grizzly G0602, 10" x 22" lathe would be a much better value at $1,050, and Grizzley ships free right now.
