I have a sister in law who has held onto a machine she believes to be a real treasure---for about 12 years now- when she first showed it to me she offered me (a real deal---for me---$500) i didn't choke- but i smiled & said---no thanks- i have a good machine-
this past summer i found the same machine (a 1956 singer 99-K) for $20 at a yard sale -- i showed it to her when they came to visit- she said---
Wow- that ones in better shape than mine but i bet i offered you a better deal!--when i told her i got it for $20 she became extremely (angry) indignant===pretty much called me a liar & left in a huff---
oh well- i have mine- and she can just keep her's in her garage for ever

My DH got mine in an Antique store 20+ yrs ago-he paid $60 for it and it came with the drawers all matching and the belt plus the key for the drawers and the wood puzzle box with all the attachments.And I thought he paid to much.Theres one sitting in a 2nd hand store here and she's only $40 and she's ready to go and sew.
