Looks like no one bit?

It is unclear from your description on ebay whether the external belt method of driving the lathe is still hooked up. Does the lathe work in its current shape?

Admittedly, without the transmission, and in its current state, $1,300 as a starting bid is extremely high, let alone $3,500 to buy it outright. If you you start with a much lower opening bid, you will probably get a bidding war anyway. A super-high price like that is just going to scare away potential bidders.
