I would say it was a big, BIG win.

I'm jealous. You have some real beauties there.

I too am jealous, I've never been able to find deals like that around here.

I've been trying to contact the seller of those machines for the last 3 days, with no response back. Guess I know why, now.

It was very frustrating for me as well when trying to contact the "lister". There was the person who listed the machines and then the actual seller. 1 stars on responsiveness for sure

Thanks for your input. I just wish they would of messaged me back, letting me know they already had a buyer, instead of me contacting them every day with no response.

A polite way of "rubbing one's face in it", being it was posted with my quote.

The amount of times I’ve missed out on an item, because I’m so busy watching it, I forget to actually bid on it

Very nice... very curious about the center feature of the Nishijin Shiroi kamome...

So long story short on my interaction. The lady (the mom) that made the listing didn't reply much to me either. All I got was the Thumbs Up emoji when I asked if she wanted to sell them, and then a phone number for California. Next thing I know the sale is pending, and no response when I asked if I was her buyer. I thought it was a scam at that point, but I did call the number and talk to the son (the actual seller) directly. Turned out to be legit, but definitely had a scam feeling.

Here are pictures of the Nishijin. Sorry for the rotated pictures. I really liked this one, and I do believe it is a Model B, so my thoughts are to use a donor and make it complete again. If someone can confirm this is a model B that would be cool!

[Wayne-Ooo]

Looks like it was a Model C.

Was this a FB Market place ad?

I know I have to some times buy/bid on collection only items on ebay for
my father and it can be quite distracting being the middle man.

Definitely a model C, you can tell by those plastic pegs that normally hold the removable rear mechanics. If it were a B; all the mechanics would be stapled to the board.

This makes the model C easier to fix/restore than model B.

Yesterday's haul. The one in the back is the gem. I'll get more pictures later but if you zoom in you may see why
