    My husband is a knife collector. He told me that he once heard a conversation like this. Owner of an item asking a seller - 'how much is my knife worth'? Vendor's answer - 'it depends on what side of the table you are sitting on'. It's worth a lot more to the person selling it than it is to the person wanting to buy it.

    Some people think that just because it's old, it's worth a lot. It amazes me that some will try to sell something and not even clean it up and make it look presentable. That's just my thinking, though.

    My 1st thought was maybe they could take some spelling lessons with part of the $5,000.00! LOL

    If they didn't use a 'q' in antique, I bet they didn't use the decimal point in $50.00! Wonder whose doing their income taxes this year?

    You'd think that for the asking price they would at least post a picture of the the $5,000 machine that needs a minor adjustment.

    And I thought the one advertised here for $500. was overly optimistic!!! Don't understand why they think these are so valuable. Especially the ones that "need work", "no power cord, can't tell if it works", "can't thread it, but looks like it should work". Hello!!! Guess they think we were born yesterday or have money to burn!!

    Do they really think they can find someone dumb enough to spend $5000 on something that they cannot even see. Sounds like a replay of that fairy tale" The Emperor's New Clothes".
