I forgot to mention that,... If a buyer is traveling more than 5 minutes to pick up an item you are selling, there is an automatic reduction in the value of the item by 25%. If they are traveling more than 10 minutes to pick up an item you are selling, there is an automatic reduction in the value of the item by 50%. If a buyer is traveling more than 15 minutes to pick up an item you are selling, there is an automatic reduction in the value of the item by 95%. And If a buyer is traveling more than 20 minutes to pick up an item you are selling, there is an automatic reverse in the value of the item and you owe them the full purchase price AND the item. After all, it is your fault that you live so far from them! ~ Little known fact of buying and selling on CL. ~
If for some reason a buyer shows up to look at an item, whatever money they have in their pocket, OR LESS, becomes the value of the item you are selling and you are bound by law to give them the item for the price they say is fair. ~ Little known fact of buying and selling on CL. ~
~G~

That is GOLD!! :D

Looks like they have been stored outside in all the elements of weather. It always makes me so sad to see a treadle base in such poor condition

I just don't understand people - trying to sell something (especially on Ebay) without pics is like trying to make a cake from scratch with no flour. And for $400 without seeing it?? Ugh.... Oh... wait a minute - new seller - didn't realize that. They need the book Ebay for Dummies lol.

They're not going to get either of those prices, I don't think!

It does say "or best offer" though, which will almost certainly be about 10% what he's asking :-)

They look like the same machine to me. I guess it is worth whatever price they have in mind even if it is outrageous.

I like the cabinet and goodies but not the sewing machine.
