Also, just my opinion - $200 is far too much for that machine. I would offer $50, showing them that it does not actually work and citing that you would be taking on a real maintenance project. Make sure they know you are not just being a grabber and low-balling unreasonably. Tell them there are 2 million more out there. Remember: Cute, but not rare. Don't let the little FW's Pound-Puppy-Appeal reel you in. ;-)

Prices only go nutty high if people pay it. Don't pay it, don't add to the mania, and prices will come down to something sensible.

If you do get it, for whatever price (which is totally your choice, your call!) then know that there are plenty of helpful folk here who will assist you in getting it up to snuff, if you are handy and ready to tinker. Just check for rust! Rust = Run Away. Other than rust, most things are quite easily tinkerable.
