I read everything you wrote just above and otherwise.
Nowhere do I see any remarks resembling,
"The nickel plating on all four pistons is 100% intact. Further, the machine fit between all of the pistons and their casings is as new - and this is guaranteed or your money (including any shipping charges) will be returned."
Are you willing to make such a statement? Again, keep your price confidential.
It's not "smart" to be an "ass" when someone (who didn't even ask your price) asks a straight-forward question which can easily have a $1000 impact on the value of what you are offering for sale. You have established yourself as a dealer on this board, as no one could possibly go through as many euphoniums (as a "consumer") as you've offered for sale in the past year or so. Dealers should be completely candid about the condition of the merchandise they are offering for sale. (Does anyone else disagree with this? Does anyone else think that I am the "smart ass" here?
