It always amazes me how people try to talk you down even though they
already know they are getting a good deal. I do my homework to keep my
prices fair based on cost and condition.


Yep, and some sellers seem unreasonable with their asking prices, also, lik=

At that price, it better not have (which looks, to me, like) replacement sh
elves and they better have and state a known/accomplished maker's name, as
provenance. It was originally posted about a week or so ago and the descri
ption and other wording has been changed..... one aspect being that they cl
aim to have paid more, than the asking price. Altered posting, as that, I
MO, are red flags.
