I don't normally comment on this sort of stuff, but the seller's written disclaimers (along with the lowest acceptable bid) make for an interesting character study.

I agree. I thought the written disclaimers were very interesting.

The repetitive disclaimer indicates that the seller has received numerous advices about this machine (probably that it looks like it was put together by a garage mechanic) and that the seller does not believe those people who think it might be a piece of junk!

And not to mentioned, a hodgepodge that is beyond wildly overpriced.
