I have a beautiful Redeye that I paid $65 for posted here on page 369. It is all a matter of perspective -- people can ask anything, but whether they get the amount depends on who wants the machine and how bad they want it I guess. The most I have paid for a treadle is $90 and that was a pristine Wheeler and Wilson, although it looks like I am going to have to spend some money to get my Davis working!
I'd see if they will come down, if you really want the machine.
