It is a darn nice toaster.

Clearly, the Holy Grail of toasters.

I love how the seller tries to turn a lemon into lemonade, by insisting
the item's major condition defect is actually a PLUS:
"When I first got this toaster, the broken louver bothered me
somewhat. But over time I have come to appreciate the missing louver
not as damage, but part of the early history of the model C. The
damage explains why they quickly changed the production finishing of
the Bakelite base the following month. Thus, I no longer see it as a
detractor, but an important aspect of this toaster’s production history
and a bonus story whenever I show the toaster to someone. Plus, the
other side remains “perfect” and displays beautifully."
I guess when I auction a poster with major staining I should talk about
how that ADDS to the poster's history, and point out how it doesn't
show when you turn the poster over.
But obviously it was a good strategy, as the toaster went for 10,000
(assuming he gets paid). I wonder if this means everyone with old
toasters will start breaking off a piece to gain a "bonus story"?
