I couldn't believe there was no reserve on this one.(Why, .....I was even
thinking of bidding on it).

 

Then again, I figured the market would set a fair price, and you probably
knew that, so I kinda figured, man, Frank 

knows the business, or Frank's got some balls, or both.

 

 

When I saw what the final bid was I was kicking myself for not bidding, but
hey, you deserve a fair price for your work

Frank,  so .glad it worked out. 

 

 

Someday,,,,,,,,,,,

Oddly, the guy that bought it already bought one from me two years ago and
also had me restore another one for him. I told him that I was bitterly
disappointed at the price, that I had forgotten to put a reserve on it and
that by the time I remembered, someone had placed the first bid and I
couldn't change it. So he agreed to release me and not buy the machine. 

 

I am going to refinish the cabinet and put it back up in a couple of weeks.
