Schum, I gave $850 for the whole lot. It also came with the table with drawers. I think I got a good set-up. The real machinists on this board and elsewhere don't like the 3-in-1's, but I figured I had to start somewhere.
I also got a box full of aluminum and a box of Delron plastic to practice with. And the guy threw in one of those granite measuring stones (don't know what I'll use that for) and a set of Heli-coil threading tools.
I've been told that you can buy your mill or lathe and then spend an equal amount on tooling! So this gets me up and running without breaking the bank.
I laundered the money through eBay (sold some stuff) to keep my wife from finding out how much I spent.
