Dear JB splain please. I read this three times to see if you were winding us up but apparently not. How on earth do you find something like that on the Book of Faces? what categories do you have? Here in Canadia we basically have two categories of Facebook marketplace - overpriced cr*p that nobody wants and scams that nobody wants.
This is a fairly serious question BTW - did you really find this on Facebook and if so, is there more of a story because this really does sound like the (actual) Holy Grail showing up for sale.

As for categories on there,there are loads. I generally just use keywords like cnc or engineering and see what it spits out 🤣🤣
Ive had some really good kit off there of late, but still stick to my code of not buying power tools or general type of tools from there as the majority of them on there are of dubious provenance, or there are a lot of Emma Louise’s and Chloe Carpenters out there that buy a lot of Makita and Dewalt power tools only to find they clash with their fake eyelashes and manicured claws....
Specialised tooling I have no issues with buying, and so far,I don’t think any of it I’ve bought requires asbestos gloves to hold.
The U.K. is also a place big for people standing in muddy fields flogging tat that should have been binned back in 1976 when it was last in fashion. Aye, the good old bootfair. Again, if you are prepared to sift through the rows of pink baby clothes and the contents of Great granddads leaky shed that finally composted itself back into his allotment last year,you can also find the occasional gem. With this year being a bit odd due to the COVID thing, bootfairs have been very few and fair between. I think a lot of stuff that would have normally landed up on a muddy field, have turned up on FB.
Anyway, the back story about the keyboard. An engineering shop up Sheffield way went into liquidation. Most of the contents of it landed up on an auction site,( a proper auction site like Apex or New England). The guy I bought it from bid and won some steel cabinets including their contents. In the one cabinet were various bits of cnc machines, probably spares for machines they had. He didn’t know exactly what machine it came from, but with good photos and a realistic price,he got a result..and so did I 😃
Seek and ye shall find....
