Here's the very same Silhouet Tone Sequential Program (SEQ-1) for sale at half the price of the last listing. This time they want $1,000.
Silhouet Tone Sequential Program

Still just slightly too much. But me? Personally I think this is a great machine, it just a little weak in the flash mode department. It can still do it, but not as good as the Sequentium listed by James right above this post. At $100 less, that's a bit better machine. Although the two machines are very close and similar to each other.

There's also an older Blendtone here:

But, these machines aren't as user friendly to the newbie. At at least $350, it could be a good buy, it's a matter if the new user wanted to educate themselves enough to use it safely.

Here's a really good machine, an Apilus Senior.

Apilus Senior

This is an excellent machine for DIY. This machine would quite readily pay for itself in a matter of a few improved sessions by the operator, and could be resold at the same, if not more, cost that it was purchased for. $1000 is still reasonable for this machine. However, the drawback is that not only is this seller Canadian, but only has 9 'buys' on ebay. Not a real sure bet. Paypal is the way to go with this transaction.

Why does the seller state, "Will not sale/ship to Nigeria" ? What the heck might that mean?

Lots of scammers in Nigeria.

They send you a certified bank check for more than the item cost saying they don't know what the shipping will be and want to make sure you have enough money, you deposit the check and send them a refund of the difference in the cost of item plus shipping, and it takes up to 6 weeks to find out the check is a fraud. Then they have both the money, and the item. You lose out on the item AND pay returned item fees for depositing a bad financial instrument at your bank. \:\(

Thanks for the expla. There are some pretty smart people in Nigeria. Never would have thought of that one. I would think this could happen anywhere though because "cheaters" live everywhere. I just thought it was strange to single out one country.

You could not get away with this in the USA, because it would not take that long for the check to be revealed as a fraud. A check from Nigeria would initially appear to clear, and would then be "ReCollected" 6 weeks after initial acceptance.

either ebay cancelled it for legal reasons, or the item sold already.
