That is a steal! For someone who could work on it what a great price.

Sorry to disagree, but IMHO Craigslist usually has much better prices, an opportunity to look at the merchandise before buying, and no shipping. That one looks like it's in sad condition. The bobbin cover plate is missing, there's lots of rust, it is currently going for $19.99 + $17 shipping, so $37+ whatever the bid gets to. I've bought machines in really good condition in cabinets for less. And the real worry - how well will the seller pack the item? Those things are pretty heavy, even the Model 99 (which I think it is), and if not properly packed it will arrive damaged.

Not worth more than $10 in my opinion.
