Wondering what you guys thought...

Hi folks -

I am foaming at the mouth for a new machine, but alas, I am pretty short in the $$$ category... SO.... I was wondering what you guys thought about asking for trading a used machine for a portrait...

I usually ak $500 for an 11 X 14" portrait, so, would you think it would be worth it?

I've asked several folks on eBay already... waiting to see what kind of answers I get.... (most likely will be "are you #^$# KIDDING? )

Your input is appreciated...

Depends on the pic and if the wife will let me do any buying. She is into horses and Civil War and me Civil War and Indians. Do you have a gallery online?

Please let me know!

And here's a sample of a horse for ya:
