    Those tend to 'freeze' up - they will need oil and heat - use it as a bargaining chip to get the price down.

    Oh no- what happened to their cases and heads? The worst part is when I see them on EBay- dismantled by a seller and sold by the piece. Makes me want to dismantle them! Second worst is when they've been "antiqued" or "shabby chic-ed". UGH.

    I wonder, do they want to buy mine for half that so they can double their money?
