I think he had an antique appraiser or estate dealer tell him what they think it's worth and he decided he could make a down payment on a house with it. I've never seen an antique dealer have a realistic appraisal of anything sewing machine related. It did have a sorry looking FW included, and the cabinet was in pretty good shape but even so it won't be worth that asking price even a hundred years from now. It's worth maybe 2k. The other one that's listed is a steal for one with the lift and a machine with it. They could get at least another 1k for it.
