really? wonder if it comes with all the junk in the pic? maybe it's $700 without, and $1000 with. I guess the belt is extra?

This one looks like fun to thread...NOT:

I like that one with just one end of a bentwood case, that is somehow attached to the base.

I don't know that I would give him $50 for the whole lot, and even if I did, all of the wood would be staying there.

From the ad: "This has sold on ebay without the cabinet for $350. $250 or make offer." How about $30 and you dust it before I pick it up?

Good grief. Even his camera lens is filthy.

Was he trying to imply that that particular machine sold for $350 on eBay?

If it wasn't such a long drive I would offer about that for a machine in need of service.

I was wondering that, too. If he sold it for $350 on Ebay isn't it illegal to turn around and sell it again for $250 on CL? Let the buyers duke it out eh?
