This is what happens when a seller decides to disassemble an item and
peddle the parts. I see this a lot on flea-bay and it is almost always a
looser for the seller but these sellers do not care as all they are
after is the $$$. You see them at auctions bidding on items to sell with
absolutely no idea what they are or what they may be worth. They are
just another human equivalent of the cockroach.

I know this has been an emotional and heated issue for many of us on this board and on the ATM forum. Some of you know
that after discussions with Al, George and Rene, I decided to "save" the Amberola. After several efforts to
buy the machine outright and offering and getting rebuffed on a 3,500 dollar offer in my second effort, I decided to go
after all 7 items. The seller, Leilani Gillard from Peachland, BC, said to me what she told others on this forum,
namely, "if you win all items, I will give you the cabinet and everything else that came with the machine."
Well, I won 5 of the items, lost the horn to a bidder from Australia, and the lid went unsold. I offered to buy the lid
and pay for the rest. The seller came back with a new "offer" of an additional 500 dollars for the cabinet. I
replied firmly "no way" and asked her to meet her commitment.
And, well, in the catgegory of a never ending saga, here is a new twist on the Amberoa
III. Now, she has come back saying that she is canceling all of the 7 bids and relisting
as entire machine...see her "principled" stance below! What a scream! I guess
she wants to get a higher return than what she got...this is adding stupidity on top of
greed?
Enjoy the read below:-) Anil
