Funny. This is an example of something you see every so often. A machine with a very high, (in this case imaginary), value, that appears, from its current location and level of care, to be valued no more than a dirty sock. Wouldn't you think, if you had something that you believed was worth $5000 and wanted to sell it, that you would take better care of it, clean it up, and take some decent pictures of it? I see the same thing with antique cars for sale. Oh well...

This could be one of those "Uncle John said it must be worth at least $5,000". :)

The steal of the day for the seller is if some misinformed idiot spends this kind of money. :lol:
