Tried to contact this guy about one hour after he posted this to offer to buy all his machines for the 2k asking price.  He's only about an hour away from me.

http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/atq/1831043170.html

Don't hear anything from him until today when he emails me and tells me the latest offer he received is $7500 and asks if I'll offer $8000.  darn  veryangry

Oh well, patience is a virtue right?

He asks for 2k, you offer to buy, then he wants more?Huh? Strange, tell him to change his listing then. I just don't get people sometimes.

We've all been there,, scammed by sellers, or had a promise broken, so    sadly, welcome to the club.
I think you did well calling his bluff, and it's a bluff, doubtful anyone  is going to ffer 7500 for  machines, that aren't all that rare, and no pictures
 Hope he saves your number and calls back  when he still has them, then offer 1000

Well I think 2k would have been a heckuva deal for a milk, 44, 39, and two others yet to be named so I can understand him getting higher offers. 

I just wish I got there first for 2k!

Especially to get the milk machine since I've been looking a while...oh well.

In the grand scheme of things I will count my blessings!

          He was asking $2000.00 and got offered $7500.00 the same day?  Ya right! 

So why didn't he sell?  Things just don't go that well in this hobby, he is full of crap!

Wow that would be a great deal... but he said noooooo exceptions to the price....

"sorry no picture, you can only get the 400 price if you buy all of them for 2000
otherwise, it's 1000 for a single machine, 800 each of you buy 2, and 600 if you buy 3..
no exceptions "

Guess that only applies to us? Will he sell the 44 for $1000?
