I am a terrible negotiator. It is missing the pin for the thread spool, but has the throat plate (even though it is rusty) which my other redeye is missing. How do I handle this guy? It is going to take lots of cleaning, but not as much as Helen required. I really don't want to spend more than $40 on it.
I would tell him that since it doesn't work, how about $30.00? You can always go up to $40.00 if you have to. Or offer $20.00 first and then go up from there.
Be persistent!!! If he doesn't sell the first time you visit, keep going back and asking until he gives in!! :-)
