$800 really isn't a bad price for a nice Credenza. This one may have a brass reproducer also, which would make it an even better deal. Too bad he hasn't added any more pictures, thuogh!

Maybe true, but when you list something for a price, you should have some integrity.

That I agree with, I was just saying at $800, it's still a fair price. I wasn't in any way validating the seller's behavior and I should have said that! Incidentally, I bought a pretty nice Credenza with a pot metal reproducer out your way (in Rochester) a few years ago for about $300. They are out there!

I think what probably bothers me the most is that I was definitely taking a bit of a gamble on a machine that I couldn't personally inspect before paying for it. I was willing to take that risk. The other part is that I have 2 other people that were willing to go out of their way to help me get it across the entire nation and I'm grateful to them, so in contrast to that, I feel like the guy selling it sort of impacted others besides me.

I'm keeping hope that one will turn up locally, I'm confident that something will come along, for sure. :D

Thanks, Sean, for the encouragement.

If the seller wants more, the seller should delete and relist. It costs nothing and avoids what looks like shaddy dealings.

I concur 100%. Not at all a good way to conduct business. Total lack of integrity on the seller's part.

Thanks Bob, I saw that while browsing eBAY. If I were closer, I would definitely check it out.

Well, if anyone on the west coast is interested, I just received an email from the guy saying that he decided to sell it to me after all.

I declined, so apparently it's still for sale.

As pointed out by OrthoSean, it could be a good deal for the right person.
