I hate it when sellers put a low price in the title line then have an unrealistic one that they are really wanting. I don't understand why they don't just put $500 in the title .

That way, people view the ad before falling on the floor while laughing hysterically at the uninformed seller.

I wish you could hold them to the price. Especially the $1 in the title and make an offer.
It works that way in the store, if it has 2 prices you get the lower of the two...

This one is kind of cute . . . Looks to be in fantastic condition too.

Unfortunately for the seller, the $5 price is closer to the actual value than the $500 price is.

Auntpiggylpn - that turquoise 327k is the very first machine I owned. Got it as a HS graduation gift. Even friends in the dorm didn't mess it up! Of course when I inadvertently shoved it against the wall with the buttonhole attachment still on it, oops!!! Think I bent something vital. Never was quite right after that. Or was it all those USAF moves every other year? Anyway it was a good machine.
