You know, it kinda feels good to type in so many zeros. Nope, I'm not smokin.....

That said I've made a couple of purchases of reasonably priced things on Etsy.

Oh, and did you notice they can't spell the word "sewing"?
Did you notice that shipping is $1,000? This idiot is just having some fun I believe!!!

Some of these people really don't get out much.

I know the first time I saw one of these I was blown away! Now I've seen so many of them, I would never consider this style all that rare, especially in quarter sawn oak. Though this one is in very nice condition, too bad the machine is not.

Rare is right. I mean, it's impossible to find anything made with petina.

Is Petina some kind of Italian pasta?

LOL, yes they replied, they are sure that the right person who can "appreciate" this machine will pay the asking price.

I replied "I wish you well"

BTW- I would have had no interest in this machine even if it was only $100.
