Hi to all,
hi kws53,
Here is the E-Bay SLV-X842 advert, original post did not give a link (minimum courtesy) + photos for posterity (E-Bay ads disappear quickly) :

Sales pitch seems to imply that the machine works, but not clearly stated and no TV screen shots of VCR playing a tape.
In my opinion the price is not justified. Asking 1000+ $ or € is justified for a refurbished machine with PSU caps measured/changed & full mechanical cleaning/lubrication.
Here in Europe, there are several German sellers offering serviced VHS/Beta machines with 6 months warranty.
