" I was only able to spot one on ebay at a starting price of $499." Just because some dumbo lists their machine for that price on ebay doesn't mean it's worth it. Otherwise, I'd list one of my machines for $1,000 and that would make the other one worth that much too and I'd start rolling in the dough! Cracks me up that people really think "listing" prices on ebay qualify as appraisals. They really ought to be looking at selling prices not listing prices.
