but I am looking for serious bidders."
He wants real money. I think it will not bring his reserve price which I bet
is at least $5000, probably more. I do not expect it to sell. It would be
interesting to see what his reserve actually is. I base my reserve price
estimate on what he wants just to handle the machine for shipping.
This thing is not going to get scrapped, he has had it for decades. He will
sit on it longer if he doesn't get what he wants. Stored in a semitrailer is
good. It looks dry, just dusty. And some looks like it was stored with
stretch wrap. It should be in good physical condition.
Note that the seller's feedback is (1) which means he is subject to fits of
unrealistic expectations.
