Kate,
the woman I bought it from explained that she simply doesn't have the time
with a 90 year old mother and two puppies. She felt the machine would be
happier at someone elses house. She is a VERY nice lady and I like her very
much and feel like I've made a net-friend during the transaction.
I got a very good deal too - off of ebay - I think people were very
suspicious that the deal wasnt' real so no one else bid - I messaged her a
few times and realized she was either real or the best scam artist ever, so
I "bought it now" for 200$ less than the blue book price.
After reading the manuals last night I am RARING to try it out tonite!
