That said I've made a couple of purchases of reasonably priced things on Etsy.

Oh, and did you notice they can't spell the word "sewing"?

Did you notice that shipping is $1,000? This idiot is just having some fun I believe!!!

Some of these people really don't get out much.

I know the first time I saw one of these I was blown away! Now I've seen so many of them, I would never consider this style all that rare, especially in quarter sawn oak. Though this one is in very nice condition, too bad the machine is not.

Rare is right. I mean, it's impossible to find anything made with petina.

Is Petina some kind of Italian pasta?

This one's a bargain. $40 for the machines plus accessories? I'd pay that (I will, if he'll ship it to me for $0

)

LOL, yes they replied, they are sure that the right person who can "appreciate" this machine will pay the asking price.

I replied "I wish you well"

BTW- I would have had no interest in this machine even if it was only $100.
