Egad, the state of that kitchen looks like something from an episode of "Hoarders"

Yes, pretty gross, "vernsantiques1"

From the title I assume that he had listed it before with original worn red horn and when it didn't sell decided to "improve" it. It probably didn't occur to him that the price might be too high.

Evidently it's not the machine being offered for sale at all:

Ahh good ol' Vernsantiques...I had sold him a VV 50 for about $125..He has it listed now I see for $350.
He emailed me about 4 times after he had won the auction about it being able to play 'loud'. From the looks of this new auction its maybe to drown out the sound of the washing machine it is sitting on.

Is that spaghetti sauce all over the washer or oven?

[De Soto Frank]

That's no washing machine... that's the kitchen stove !

I guess ol' Vern eats-out most of the time...

( Be afraid... be VERY afraid ! )

Vern needs to learn a bit about staging the photos for listings...

With the Ebola scare, most people wouldn't want to buy anything from a place that needs a HazMat team to enter...
