Well, they WERE asking a lot more. I sent them a message offering encouragement and hopes that they were able to achieve their asking price, but asked them that should that not be the case would they consider my offer of $100, I also link them to the VSS website to show them what I do wit them. They let me know that they would think about it. 3 weeks later they emailed me back and said they would accept my offer. 2.5 hour each way and the machine was mine. (frozen stiff, not turning BTW)
