Identifying a machine from the backside
I'm not sure if others here do this, but I frequently watch online classifieds for used machines. I have noticed that many people do not take pictures of the front of the machine or tell you what the make/model number are. I have found it quite enjoyable to attempt to identify a machine by comparing it to other classifieds and auctions. It has become a game of sorts. Of course, I could just ask the seller for the information, but where is the fun in that?

LOL! We all would have to be forensic scientists, and have a super lab, like Abby on NCIA. I think the picture taker has no idea what they are looking at. Just cleaning out mom or grandma's "junk" to make room for their "stuff".

Either that, or they'll think they've found an incredibly rare antique and ask $20K for a machine that's really worth about $20 dollars. LOL

LOL, I've noticed that also, and I bet it is a male selling the machine, they take a photo of the backside where they think the motor is, the most important part to them. Once I emailed a seller (sometimes I just like to see what is selling on Ebay) that did that, I explained the front of the machine is what people want to see. He replied "oh, I didn't know that was important" He never added a front photo or more about the machine, it never sold for some reason. LOL
