They do indeed. Im not sure about the prices though. They seem a little over the top to me, but then Im not really up on current prices in the USA.

Yes I'd agree they are a bit high but I guess If I had some of that stuff I'd be asking close to the same in many cases.
Of course it's always hard to tell about condition. To really assess the prices you'd need more information.

When I hear someone describe a machine as "minty", I interpret that as a machine that approaches one that's in "mint" or in perfect original condition as it left the factory. I like the word. Better yet, I like to buy minty machines. Jerry

Minty, well frankly I don't know how I came up with that word.
Must have
heard it somewhere before and it stuck in my vocabulary.
What I meant is it appears to be in very good condition, although not perfect.
But I agree, it may have been refinished and that can best be confirmed by
seeing the machine in person.
