Wow ... around 30 minutes left ... it may well go for under $750 ... are you in?

 :)

Mightily tempted, but I promised someone that I wouldn't compete for this one.  :-X

Mrs. Tex ... right ... go on ... with you having mastered the art of "smooth talk" it should be a piece of cake.

Hmm ... so in summary ... although you're lusting ... it does not qualify for a fight.

Damn right! Mrs T's idea of getting even usually entails a visit to the auction houses in Houston or Dallas. Ever seen what a Gustav Stickley dining room suite goes for these days?  :o

For 7 grand, I think I'd rather have one of these


I don't know enough about either one of these machines to know which will pull the better shot; I only know that they both are capable of producing much better shots than me.

I also know that the chances of me dropping 7 grand on an espresso machine are slim to none  :)

Me too - not for financial reasons; it just grates on my nerves to spend that kind of money! Especially when my $400 Bunn ES-1A makes perfectly good espresso.  :)

Although...every one needs art in their house, yes?  7 grand seems pretty cheap by art standards  ;D  Maybe if I had a bigger nook...
