1940's japanese sewing machine - $1000
Antique japanese sewing machine in mint condition! This thing is almost new.(???)
NO Pictures included.

So, I text him and ask.. can I see a picture? he sent this.

When I asked him politely why he felt it was worth $1000 he said because "these sell for $1600 but I am trying to keep the price reasonable"

I mentioned that as a person who is a collector and beginning restorer of these machines I could assure him that they were worth more like $160 at best.

his reply "that's fine, this one is not restored, this one has never been used"
