Terri, the cabinet sold me! I was unsure of the machine...what kind/brand/type, but I had to have the cabinet. Lucky me got an awesome machine, too.
I saw the cabinet online, with the machine out of sight...this was for a local auction that my aunt and uncle attended. I told my DH that I LOVED that! Even if the machine was junk, I could use the cabinet for one of mine...turns out, the "new" machine gets to keep its place!
Funny thing is that most machines we've seen sell online, the buyers don't care about the cabinet, they just want the machine. I would think it would hold more value in the original cabinet.
