I'll never know. It was available for 8 days and I missed it by like a few hours.

Is this too good to be true?

Looks like a nice setup but $600 seems about right to me considering youre buying a package deal based off the sum of the parts. I like to be below 50% of normal craigslist prices before I think I'm getting a deal bc there's often hidden issues needing resolved.
Adding up prices of what I could resell locally.....I cant make it out, but if the grinder's a Baldor that might bring $100-150, the drill press is $50-75 with another $50 for the float-lock vise, the hose reels are $100 each if theyre something decent like a Reelcraft with good hoses, the vise is $100-150, the engine hoist looks like an imported come-along on an old barn hay-trolley worth ~$50 total, and the bench itself might bring $200....unless I'm missing something major I get ~$900 tops resale if its split and I had a month or three to wait. As a package deal $600 seems fair but not great, and depends a lot on everything being popular brands in good condition.

Based on justanengineers estimation of the individual values, I'd ****** it up in a heartbeat if I could get the normal CL 25% or so talk-down, maybe even at $600. But that's considering I'd use it all myself, maybe only resell one or both of the reels.

^ ^ ^ +1 . . . boggles mind why install vise several inches from bench edge ??
Think if you showed up with wad of $20 bills for $500 total, it'd be yours.
I'd agree that his numbers are on too. I think the issue is that most of us here would rather gather the specific pieces ourselves and build the table, more to our liking.
Somehow spending $600 on materials/parts and building yourself is more satisfying than handing over $600 for something already done. Especailly when you can gather items little by little.
