Was this a legitimate listing on Ebay?

Seems too good to be true at $400 even though it is just the shaver.

Re: Columbia Treadle Shaver
I bought it. I am trying to arrange freight shipping and pick up now. I’ve been in contact with the seller who seems legit.. I guess we will see when it arrives. I think the ‘local pick up only’ kept a lot of people from bidding (myself included - almost). I contacted the seller early on to see about arranging shipping or freight pick up and she was open to this. It will definitely be a bargain if everything goes as planned.

After some difficulty with the shipping company, the Columbia Shaver is now in route to it’s new home in my collection.

I don't collect phonographs but I would certainly want this in my collection. The kind of item I would never have known existed. Fantastic item I think.
