I looked at the pics before looking at the price. Should there not be a decimal point after the 5? Those decals are all silver to boot!

One does get the idea that English is not a first language for this seller, but it doesn't feel like a scam...other than it's over priced!

Okay, the first thing is that they have this machine listed as a treadle. Which just cements what he/she wrote in the ad:

dont know how to work it. and dont know if it works.
