For $300 you would think they could post a picture! Wonder if the husband knows she is trying to sell it?!?!

and. . . "I do not need someone contacting me to tell me how to sell my items." - Obviously she DOES!!!!

I think, sometimes it's a matter of people who shouldn't - touching things they shouldn't. Some people are great with a level and a drill for instance. The people we bought this house from? Didn't hang a single curtain rod straight. They also did wiring, carpentry and painting with equal skill levels.

Some people shouldn't disassemble tensioners. I'm one of those people who knows now that I shouldn't have disassembled that main spring clock all those years ago....

That one's so rude I wouldn't respond even if I HAD to have the machine. I couldn't stand being in her house listening to her prattle on like that.

It sounds like a jackhammer too. I heard one run in a shop a couple years ago.

I would only consider one if it was given to me. Not worth paying for IMHO. Won't be long before more will be showing up on CL.
