The thing is, that's not the going rate here. Starting high and lowering your price ($5 at a time in the case of the others that are over priced) limits who you can sell to. A 221 won't sell for $500 here, even a Centennial in very good shape is hard to sell at $300, or $250. Even for a black 301 with all of those accessories, $150 is a hard sell. I think these people are a victim of eBay searches.

The worst part is, some of the people asking a ton for the machines will "give up" and dump the machines when they figure out that they're not worth what they think they should be.

I would have expected a built in cabinet to be much smaller.....

I do not know which is worse, the price or the write-up... with wondrous stuff like....

"This... Beautiful... Piece... Is.. A... One...Time... Only... Item... And... Once... Sold... Will... Not... Subsequently... Be... Available... Unless... Returned...To... Us..."
