I wrote and asked if he was serious about this price or was it a typo. I told him that I had purchased a 1936 Featherweight in pristine condition with accessories and case for $225.00 plus $18 shipping. (This is true)
His response - Dear xxxxxxx,
Thank you for the info but are we talking apples to apples, did yours come with a case like this in this good of condition which is rare in it's self. Was the machine serviced and cleaned when you got it or did you have to do it yourself. I have been selling these for several years as has my partner and this is what I am asking for this sale.
thank you and have a great weekend,
duane
I didn't respond to his reply.
Mine wasn't in pristine condition, but I paid under $200 for it and it is in great shape it had been used, the case is not new, but totally usable. I knew it was used when I bought it. I think he is just being greedy! However, if he can find someone who wants to pay that much, then good for him. They would have more money than sense I guess, at least more than I would have to spend like that.
