HELP! Lathe headache
Hi All
Location: Lincolnshire
A plea for help! I bought a lathe on ebay expecting to be able to use the works van to collect it but they have sold it on unexpectedly (the van). I
have now been weeks trying to sort this and have found myself in a position where I can't really afford a courier to collect it just yet but the
seller is really peed off as it is in the way. Would any kind soul with a van and some storage be willing and able to get it from Spalding and just
hang on to it till the end of the month? I would of course be more than happy to pay for diesel and the storage.
If you can help please let me know before they bung it back on ebay and I lose my cash!
Ta in advance
Matt

I can not help, but just thought it may be worthwhile to let others know what size/type the lathe is etc.
It may be you need a large van rather then escort van etc.
Good luck
Adrian
Why do I have to make the tools to finish the job? More time then money.

I have a trailer if you need it, 5.5'x3.5'
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

'Kin Great idea that with something so heavy -why not post the ad on here over night / 24 hours and see if someone nearer will pick it up for
around the same money that, cunningly, gets you off the hoook to buy something nearer to home!
It's OK I don't want an y commission for this
Tetleys, the thinking mans bed time tipple!
