its usually opposite that. a semi functional cnc is nearly free save for the rigging. either way 8 bills is low buck shit. i sold a fully operational and tooled bridgeport cnc for $2k a couple years ago and it took over a month to sell. i finally got a guy to buy it if i delivered it (paid add'l $500). it was a clean mid 90s machine with low hours but the control died so i put mach3 on it. made good parts but couldnt rigid tap and no toolchanger sucked
picel is a mechanically superior machine because it has more z travel. anons $800 would buy it i bet but expect 50/50 to have it work when powered up due to sitting. i wouldnt hesitate to retrofit the control if freetime was cheap/available
