Well, this is the 5th time this guy has listed his 6-case vertical on eBay.  The first 2 times, he started the bidding at $800.  Each time after, he's started it at $750.  This is not too far from me, so a few listings ago, I contacted them about it.  I figured if it didn't sell, I could make an offer.  THe wife was very nice and inferred she wanted to sell it, but the husband wouldn't budge off his price.  Seems he paid $800 for it a few years ago.  I explained the cost of replacing the missing shelves, rewiring, etc.  Still, she said he was set on the price.  You'd think after the 3rd or 4th time, he'd take a hint.  Naturally, I will watch it and may contact them again.

Hopefully your good waiting skills will pay off, Wayne. I guess I can kinda feel what the guy is going through, but I also think that he may have to face the reality that he isn't going to get more than $600 for it.

The one thing that he does have going for him is Ebay. With such broad coverage, he might find that guy/gal that finds this machine super-desirable and will pay the high bounty he's placed on it.

Maybe he'll come to his senses after the 5th time!  '<img'>

I agree, Brian.  But, this guy is REAL bull-headed.  We'll wait and see!

Yeah... anyone who ends an auction description with "Price won't be lowered again." just doesn't have a firm grasp on the whole supply/demand relationship. ':p'

it's almost like he's saying, "Buy it at this price or.....or...I'll just keep it!!"  Okaaaayy? '<img'>

I think you should have Josh contact him... he seems to find a way to get people to give him machines just to free up floor space!

Don't have their number, I've just used email.  I emailed them again, but haven't gotten any response.  Man, if Josh talks to them, he'll wind up having them pay him to take the machine! ':p'  Have at it, Josh, see what they'll take!
