Chinese Lathe Price List

Hello after a long time.

To help in purchasing one, I have published a price list of the lathe and accessories sold on Ebay by sincereclocks.

That is the same classic "Geneva Pattern" C0608 lathe as described on the specialized website:
http://www.lathes.co.uk/chinese-watch-lathe/
Its qualities have been already been discussed here and on many other places, so all I wanted to do is to summarize the options available, using a more conventional part naming.My opinion is that the product is still overpriced in relation to its industrial cost by a good 100%, especially for some parts. For example, the 3 jaws chuck sold for $155 is a common Furda K01-50 plus adapting arbor, available elsewhere for $60. And the seller make no discount on the lathe purchase with an accessory set, howeve a 5% discount is offered if the transaction is made directly.

Since the same product is also sold under the bran Vector by Boley.de, and described as "inexpensive".  I've included a summary of that option. I'll make no comment on its price, but at least the wooden box looks great.
In another post I'll summarize the ready choices available for getting a new micro or mini lathe.
