I admit that it could punch through more than a lot of machines but to add that to a machine to sell it to the poor unsuspecting that does not know any better is shameful. Marketing it as a machine worthy of sewing tooled leather all day long just boils my blood! It has no case or cabinet, it has the wrong manual, and I am sure that the can scratched the heck out of the bed, the footplate and slideplate.:mad::mad::mad:
I would tell them to their face that they were a stinking liar and should be ashamed of themselves.
End of rant. And I am sorry.
...And now back to your regularly scheduled Giggles...

Wonder why he did not sell it if he was offered $2000. I think whom ever appraised it was smoking something also!!

That $200,000,000,000,000 loss is pathetic - leave the poor fool alone he just wants to buy something more to smoke.

Well, logic doesn't really apply when you're lying in such an obvious way.

I am thinking that he was leaving out key information. It was offered by a Leprechaun riding a Unicorn. The only way that machine is worth $20,000 is if it was Monopoly money.:D
