Haven't seen one in a few years, but basically you clamp the metal work piece in the vice and the tool head goes back and forth gouging out
material. The head (or vice) increments sideways with each pass to move the work piece for the next gouge.....if that makes sense!
Most shops would probably use a mill these days I guess, but they do have their uses. We had one at college years ago and used it on a project to
make toolmakers clamps.
YouTube linky here....

Re price this is an extract of his email to me:-
'We don’t want much for the machine tools; basically as long as we get at least the scrap price, and get them moved at no cost to us we are
happy, especially if they go to a “good home”. '
Ring / email him and make an appropriate offer.

The shaper is very slow compared to a mill, but they can be very accurate. The BIG advantage is that they don't use expensive milling cutters,
just ones very similar to lathe tools. They do take some space, as the head needs room to go back and forth on the top. It will also be HEAVY!
I have a bench-mounted Cowells hand shaper, and I still use it when I want to make a flat surface with good right-angled edges.

I used one of these as an apprentice way back when. Great pieces of kit, and of course grossly abused by the apprentices
