...not enough info in the listing to know whether this person is serious or just crazy! J

But it's black and comes with its own cabinet. Come on ladies, we are just too picky here. Actually, I believe the seller needs a jacket that makes him hug himself and a nice cozy padded room.

That seller is in Canada. Must be $10,000 in Canadian money translates to $100 in USA money! ;~))

Now...in their defense, if they don't know machine values, and don't want to bother to research, it's better to start high and go lower, because it's nearly impossible to start low and go higher!!

Here is a "marketing" consideration. What if the $10,000 figure is an attention getter? I bet a whole lot of people looked at the $$ figure just to see what kind of machine would be worth that much. It did elicit some response here on the QB.

You can make an offer but truthfully, it isn't even worth the $30 they are charging for shipping! They will get more if they take it to a scrap yard and sell the metal!
