I think John is correct to have concern over the fate of the machine, though "theoretically" sellers are not obligated to care about the fate of what they sell, unless perhaps it's a kitten or a puppy. I would direct the lady to the Crap-O-Phones on eBay, if she wants to own a monstrosity such a

A tough call. Once you sell something it is no longer up to you what happens to it.Maybe you should arrange for her to see/hear it if you are close enough and try to determine if she hopes to modify the machine or if she just doesn't understand what you said. Ronald L'Herault Lab Supervisor
