I've laughed about that, too! Years ago 'new/used' was a required field, now in certain categories it can be left blank.
And then there is the region/country of manufacture. Not manufactured, so where was it mined, or where was it cut?

eBay is considerably more expensive in terms of fees...without a store (monthly fee), their commission is 10% on sale AND shipping. (plus fee and percentage to PayPal.)
eBay gives you more decisions to make...auction or fixed price, how many days to list. Also gives you many places to spend money on "upgrades" and promotion
In the last year and a half they have stopped treating their small sellers like inferior beings. More respect if you need to call in and the seller doesn't always take the blame. For a number of years it seemed like they changed the rules at least once a year. That seems to have slowed down. The major change taking place right now is the gradual switch to eBay handling the banking and phasing out PayPal.

I use a shower curtain to cover the tool box that my cab machine sits upon. Easily replaced when its too dirty and the wheeled tool box looks like new.

Our first cab machine was an 8" unit that ran 2 silicon carbide wheels, 2 expando drums, and a polishing pad. It may have been a Beacon Star--too much paint to really know. Got it for $350, used it for five years, learned a lot, and resold it for $350. Point being that lapidary equipment is not hard to resell if you outgrow or don't like. We joined the local lapidary club and used their Diamond Pacific machines. Lesson learned: Diamonds are a girl's best friend! The diamond media cut time to cab a stone at least in half. We are currently running Cab King. I prefer the water supply from the top rather than the geyser set-up. Works great for making cabochons. Old equipment will get you started for less $$. Club equipment will let you learn and test drive before you buy...
