He thinks having antique on the listing makes it worth way more than it is. By following the postings on here about the old machines I am learning alot about the prices of these old dears.

How in the world do they formulate these prices? What are they smoking? Do your research. This is not a reasonable price. It is an okay machine, but you need to follow Ebay for a while to see what this machine is really worth. Remember you have to pay freight on top of the asking price or pick it up.
Make an offer from reality. See what he says. Maybe you don't want to go there........
Good luck.
