Problem is they aren't taking into account that the items aren't tested and sometimes are missing bobbin cases and bits. He also said they aren't relisting as much as they used to, maybe I need to head out to the stores to see if they put the machines back on the floors and with what prices. You never know - there's always 1/2 price day!
Hahaha!!! That's why they do Reserve!!! Really now!! Did they expect to get those prices???? They deserve not to sell them, then. Same thing in this area on CL....people are asking way high prices, and when I contact them to offer less, they still have the machine but not willilng to drop the price...if they want to sell they need to price it to sell!!
