    It could be worse. It was originally listed at something like $1200. Actually it doesn't strike me as being *that* bad - just bad. The parlor cabinets I've seen listed in good condition are running $400+ all by their lonesomes. The lotus decal set isn't as common around here as the red eye and it's almost never in great condition - the front of the bed is usually badly worn. I like the idea of them personally delivering it anywhere in the lower 48, too

    not enough information... I bet he is just after email addresses - sounds like a scammer to me. If he had his phone number I would call and offer $5 just to take what ever it is off his hands... Then you all could call too. I think it is a scammer...
