Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

Pennies on the dollar? I don't necessarily doubt you, but where do I get that machine for less than 10 grand?
There's a few on here that I saw for less than $40,000.
https://cncmachines.com/cnc-mill/for-sale/1
Edit: not that specific machine.
Hmm, that site has a very different definition of "mini mill" than I do.
I don’t understand the point of hiding the price but then having an ai bot email it when someone asks it in the comments. Just list the damn price
Prevents bots scraping the site and either buying it all themselves or getting listed elsewhere.
I can understand that when the site is selling sneakers or a PS3 but is there a big market on scalping CNC machines? Plus I figure it would be trivial to create a bot that would create a comment on each post asking for the price so the sites bot sends the email with the price.
Makes it harder for your competitors to undercut you in prices. Not impossible, just harder. Most locks are just to make something more difficult so you give up. They aren't impossible.
Another likely reason is that the price varies based on material/labor cost and they don't want a set price being advertised. The price probably dynamically varies.
Ahhh just a turn of phrase. Not literally pennies on the dollar, but very cheap compared to new!
Literally, on CNCmachines.com they sell 5 axis milling machines for as low as 50K i've seen. There's also tons of auctions on cnc machines due to all of the shops closing like I said.
