1. I didn't read completely, and didn't see the "Goodwill". They usually won't entertain offers anyway.

2. Just because it's at Goodwill, doesn't mean they know what something is worth. I've actually insisted that they take more for a Griswold cast iron skillet that they had priced at $5. It had to go as a donation, but that skillet priced at over $100 in my "Blue book". On the other hand, I've seen them price a treadle sewing machine, no slide plates, frozen, rusted, wood in terrible shape with the irons broken for $100....it was a parts machine at best, if there were enough parts left on it to salvage.
