$70?  I'm on it...Mrs. MMW will just have to deal (read:  I need a machine for the garage, or the doghouse)

Oh...wait...$700!?!  Pass.  Sitting here wondering which restaurant in Frisco would have such a beast though.

Don't get me wrong, BTW, if I had the space, time, and money...that thing would be pretty slick.  But it's a pretty good investment in both the space and the time aspect.

Yeah, I'd fix it up for display purposes only. You'd need a BIG hunk of counter space to display it properly.

You can come visit it in Longview any time you like  ;D

If it was new it'd be ~$14,000.

Didn't you ever go to Mexico and dicker on the price of something.... my experience is that if people list it on Craigs list for 700 or best offer then they don't know the value of it and you can low-ball them with an offer... like $250 to see if they'll move.. which he did already by $200...  then toss him a hmmmm..... I'd really like to have it.... how about $300... then he goes to $400... and I send him $350... for a $14000 machine...  He's happy.. I'm happy ;D ;D
