I like the white FW's and just this evening I sat and WATCHED a white FW sell on E-bay for $177.00. The seller listed it as "for parts or repair" but in the description she stated that the machine worked, but was sluggish and that it was probably because the belt was slipping. Cosmetically ... very nice machine.
My finger hovered over the buy button but in the end I decided I didn't want a FW that badly to spend that much (I know it's not a lot for a white FW ... but it was more than I think they are *worth*).
