Woman: "Yeah, I got your number from the lady at the antique store. She said you was wantin' to buy an old sewing machine."

Husband: "Yes ma'am. Is the machine you've got in good shape?"

Woman: "Oh yeah, yeah. It's perfect. The string on it ain't hardly wore out at all." (I'm assuming she was talking about the belt)

Husband: "Well how about the cabinet wood, is it all still nice?"

Woman: "Yeah, it's real pretty."

Husband: "Could you email me a few pictures of it if I give you my email address?"

Woman: "Well no I can't do that but I'm gonna put it on eBay so you could look at it there."

Husband: "You can't email me pictures but you can put them on eBay? Anyways, how much are you wanting to get for your machine?"

Woman: "Well now it's real nice and my gramma, she says it's older than her so I was wantin' to get 'bout $15,000 for it."

Husband: "$15,000?!!! Ma'am, the nicest ones out there don't bring but about three, four, maybe five hundred dollars on eBay."

Woman: "Well now, they ain't got what I got."

Husband: "Let me ask you this, is the machine made out of solid gold or something?"

Woman: "Uh, no it ain't gold."

Husband: "Well I can tell you that we're wasting each other's time. Have a nice day."

Some people are seriously crazy! LoL
