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

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

...And it just might be a good lesson to the seller! ;)

I hope so. He also told me I could just send him a cashiers check! :shock:

When someone you don't know wants you to send them a cashier's check, those warning sirens do indeed go off.

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

It sold for less than $500 and with a brass reproducer to boot, I'm not sure how much closer a person would need to be, but that was a sweet deal for someone.

Well, it would be about 725 miles in a truck that gets about 14 miles/gal. 13 hours round trip would mean a motel room...figure $100 for that and I'm looking at probably $300-350 on top of the $500.

So, yes, a nice machine, but I don't know about $850 nice. ;)
