I am ok for that price taking risks. I see them as a challenge with potential to be awesum but it doesn't always work out that way! Sometimes it's just a learning situation and lots of frustration!
I agree when people start bargaining my prices way down before they even see a machine I am insulted. I'm generally ok with a little bargaining but I price my machines to sell quickly and if you can't afford it, someone else is waiting that can.
Well said. I picked one up for cheap today. It looks all there. Jury is still out on what all it needs. Usually more than meets the eye initially. So that translates to a couple hours of time plus the initial investment. What does that translate into for getting rid of it??? I guess I had MY panties in a knot about people bragging how cheap they get a machine then people expect to BUY one for that and expecting it to work perfectly.....
