My guess - he's been trying to sell it for years and nobody wants to pay what is might remotely be worth to him even though he probably paid $5 for it at the rubbage sale.. er rummage sale...

Can someone remind me? What's the significance of the red accessory tray? It's a post 1950 machine,... but I'm drawing a blank otherwise...
