susan I really didn't mean to offend u. It is just that I have bought items on here and it was really a mess. Even some things were dry rotted. I am so sorry
I am not offended. I have thousands of items to post, most of which have been stored in trailer, barn, office or somewhere for some length of time. Starting everything at 499 and paying the shipping doesn't inspire me to clean everything beforehand and if I had the resources and time I would but I don't so its either offer it as is, or toss it in dump and I hate to do that. I always try to say it needs cleaning rather than not just in case it does and I don't see it. Thanks
