Thinking of selling my 3520b with the 18 inch extension bed. Light hobby use.
Is $3000 a reasonable price? Should I post this question in the Classifieds?

$3,000 would be high for a bare lathe to me

I gave $2500 for a 3520B in March of 2016, it came with a Oneway Stronghold chuck and a couple gouges.

A recent E-Bay sale.
Selling price $2500 less E-Bay fees of $332.80.
don't forget it has a bed extension

I paid $3000 for a 3520b with a bed extension and a few extras.
For those who think the price should be much lower, consider the bed extension sells for $400-$600 and can add tremendously to the usefulness of the lathe.
Of course this depends on how you use your lathe. I personally would hate to be without the bed extension, even when turning bowls, platters, and small things. I make trays the fit and slide in the ways to keep tools and supplies at hand.
