``Keep in mind that this machine has been barely used we could even
say that is brand new, (because customer barely used it for small
setups). ''

Now, the paint around the handles, and such, looks like it was used a
lot. Look at, e.g.

So, is the seller correct? Your opinion?



Looks like normal wear and tear on a lathe that has had plenty of use .
I wouldn't say "hardly used" .
Depending on the condition of the bed and ways ,it maybe a reasonable price for a lathe in good used condition.
I certainly wouldn't consider buying unless I could check it out and do some test machining with it first.
