A little more beefier X2, but price is disappointment

[ZipSnipe]

At first glance I thought it was another x2 but the table and travels are a little more

I would have liked to seen a little more travel and table size out of it for that price. And look on the machine descr. it has the x and y travels backwards. Oh well what would I expect from China products.

eBay has gone way downhill in the past two years in terms of being a place to find good deals on tools. Half or more of the Buy It Now stuff has gouging prices on it--things you can find cheaper at Harbor Freight or even Little Machine Shop. Not to mention the number of times I've had guys take 7-10 days just to put my order in a box. Same thing with stepper motors and CNC parts.

Hmm Very interesting MOD X2? Little over price I think?
As for Ebay its Buyer Beware. I have not only gotten RIP-OFF a few times on Ebay. But then the Sellers can leave Bad Feedback on you to add insult to injury as well. Ebay only cares about there profits & there self. Yep Ebay is NOT what it use to be.
As for LMS,im very happy with them.
You know; you can MOD an X2 for less than that mill on Ebay.
And it would have alot more X&Y travel. HOSS did it.
And im in the process of doing one. But a little different from what HOSS did.
Soo you can too. Its fun.

Interesting variation of an X2. Doesn't really look beefier, but it does have a few enhancements. Not enough to double the price though. After you add in shipping, someone's got themselves a $1000+ X2.

I have to go with oldboy's comment: with ebay, it's always "buyer beware".

just an fyi, it's "seller beware" too. (if you use paypal) unless you have a premier paypal account. not wanting to hijack the thread, but in short just had an incident with personal paypal account, buyer paid by paypal, sent item certified USPS, got delivery signature, buyer files fraud with paypal. paypal debits my account. Buyer gets my merchandise and his money back. left out details but trying to keep it short.

so in short, do not sell (even 1 item) if you use a personal paypal account.

ZipSnipe Seems to me you could Mod a X2 with all steppers & controler board. For 1000 +. Or get an X3 ?
Hey taz!
I bet the guy that rip you off left you bad feedback all so.
Thats what I mean by "add insult to injury as well" in my post.
Im surprised a law firm has not filed a class action law suit against PAYPAL/EBAY. And that the F.T.C has not crack down on PAYPAL/EBAY.
To Enforce the laws that protect us in internet trade.
Sorry ZipSnipe on moving away from your post on this milling machine.
