"a little water damage . . .easily repaired" this guy obviously has never done anything like that. This one is ruined and the only way to bring it back to original is to replace the veneer.
I hate when people with no clue say "it should be easy". When I did alterations I'd have people come in and say "I only want it taken in a bit right here . . ." and then have fits when I quoted a price. Many times what they thought would be easy (just a little bit ) involved taking sleeves and collar off and resetting them.

I see ads all of the time that say things like "Should be simple to repair" "You can find that missing thing on Ebay" "Needs ___, it's only a couple of dollars" "Missing ___, but otherwise it is perfect". I always wonder why they don't go out and get them or do the "Simple Repair" themselves. Too busy over-watering their pot plants I guess.

How about a Rare Redeye? ONLY $10,001.00. Yes- this is the listed price. I think the dreamers are more delusional on Etsy! Materials- "wood, oak, petina, metal". Good Grief!

Well, they did warn you "sewing machine most expensive in the world". It's certainly the most overpriced one I've seen for a while! The asking price is indeed rare, and you're right: Some of the Etsy people are completely crazy with their pricing.
That said I've made a couple of purchases of reasonably priced things on Etsy.
Oh, and did you notice they can't spell the word "sewing"?
