I'd be wary of it. I can't see any sign of the high/low ratio lever on the left. But if you just want a bench drill, and it's cheap, you could do worse.

You're right - it looks like the place where the lever should be is covered over with a plate of some sort. The pinch bolt for the head clamp seems to be missing too.

Ask him for a photo of the left side.
