Just wondering if there is one or two more zeros than planned?

perhaps it was supposed to be $1,490 not 14 grand.  @.@

is it worth $1400 odd. ? this era is not my strong point.

I prefer newer stuff but someone might like it at $1400  !@# !@# !@#

$1400 would be stretching it a fair bit. In that condition - less than $800.

I think it may have been a deliberate ploy to attract a sale outside of ebay . There is a deal going ATM where listing fees are free so it wouldn't have cost them a cent to list it but they may get someone interested to come for an inspection and make an offer .

I hassled the seller, heres the response....

Sorry about the error - my husband did this listing and typing is just not one of his strong points. The starting price has been changed to $1400. Thanks for your message.
