[QUOTE=miriam;5987342]I think I found a Phoenix manual 282 for free. http://rudolfcouture.com/wardrobe/in...d=49&Itemid=39 /QUOTE]
Ahhhh yes, Rudolf and I are already buddies He's in Sydney and it seems that every time I get a machine, he already has the same one (or similar). Plus he is a couturier so we also have that in common.
You are all being so fabulous - thank you! I have written back to the offending person and achieved my personal goal of not being angry or mean in any way. I think the worst thing I could have done was let his poor behaviour alter mine in any way. Now I feel "free" ... and with so much encouragement, I feel confident about finding another copy if I am patient enough.

I wonder if he accidentally misplaced the decimal point and really intended to put $15.00. I would find out if that is the case, but I would not deal with him at all if he tries to stick with the outrageous price of $150. He must be copying it by hand for that price.

I suspect he did not WANT to go to the trouble of copying the manual, and that is why he priced it so high. I can understand your disappointment, though, and I might just say, "That is way too much, sorry."

I would offer him what you would be willing to pay for it, plus shipping (and that would be pricey for sure!) I just recently shipped something "down under" and it cost the buyer as much to ship the item as I was selling it for. If hes not willing to do that, then keep on looking. Sooner or later one will come along.

It seems everyone is out for the almighty dollar because I wondered why he couldn't take the time to scan it and send it in an e-mail? It might take a little bit of time but no cost to mail and printing is done at the other end.

I presume you're talking about a general online search?
This is a manual that's not available online, otherwise there would be no heartache!!
