Hi group, I have been interested in Klingsor machines for some time, having restored one recently. But I have become distressed about the "sale" of a machine on eBay by "GoAntiques". I was wondering whether anyone else has been concerned about this "auctioneer". The same machine has been placed on eBay numerous times and supposedly was "sold" to a "floor bidder" recently. Now it has surfaced once more and is for sale again. I have the feeling that the "floor bidder" never existed and that would be fraudulent auctioneering. The most recent sale was for item 300130061305 and was "sold" for somewhere around $1650. Now it is up on eBay once again and looks like the same machine. The new ebay auction number is 300144826944. This same machine appears to have been up on eBay a number of times previously as well--and by the same seller. Why do I have the feeling that if one bids for this machine one is simply bidding against the auctioneer (or seller) himself? Has anyone had any experience with this seller? Thanks, ---Art Heller
