These Elnas aren't really worth that are they? I think it's WAY high

My ebayfu claims $50 might be too high.

One in good shape is worth a bit less IMHO but they can be good machines. I had one for years and LOVED it.

I've one I'd sell for $70 but that desk is something else. If I had the desk I might make my Supermatic my go-to machine. No way to put a value on the desk.

Ohhh!!! I'm just listening to my heart! thump thump thump thumpity thump....

Misinformed seller. Only the shipper can pursue the carrier for restitution. Also he has to pack it right or the carrier WON'T honor the shippnig insurance. Caveat Emptor.
