It has no case or cabinet, it has the wrong manual, and I am sure that the can scratched the heck out of the bed, the footplate and slideplate.
I would tell them to their face that they were a stinking liar and should be ashamed of themselves.
End of rant. And I am sorry.
...And now back to your regularly scheduled Giggles...

That $200,000,000,000,000 loss is pathetic - leave the poor fool alone he just wants to buy something more to smoke.

Well, logic doesn't really apply when you're lying in such an obvious way.

I am thinking that he was leaving out key information. It was offered by a Leprechaun riding a Unicorn. The only way that machine is worth $20,000 is if it was Monopoly money.
