The auction for this little gem ends just after 11:00 pm on Tues. I wish it was closer to me! The estimated shipping from NY to TX is just over $60.00! Yet if someone lives closer this would be a bargain!

It said the reserve has not been met yet. So you wonder how much do they want for it. Looks like a nice machine. shipping to Alabama is $49.50

Is this a machine you really want? I live 40 minutes from there. My sister lives there.

I had one shipped to me in North Dakota from New York for $30. The only thing wrong was the guy didn't pack it against breakage and the bottom of the machine which is a plastic broke. He refunded my money for the machine and the postage. $61.00 total. She is a nice little gem that sews great but no bottom to set machine into. am looking for one of them unless I can find something to glue mine back together so it holds the machine.

She is a beauty.

OH! You're so sweet! Someday I'd like one of these, but if your sister did get it for me she'd still have to ship it & TX is very far from NY! Way too much money!
I thought that she was so cute that the board would like seeing her, & if someone was close who wanted her they could get her.
Thanks for the offer! :thumbup:

I didn't notice that! It's not a usual thing for Goodwill to do on their sewing machines. Now I'm wondering!!!

they sure are proud of their stuff.
#1-reserve has not been met yet
#2- only worth about $25.00..easy to get on ebay
#3- shipping AND a $4 handling charge even if you pick it up!
#4- foot pedal and wiring are NEW not vintage..so what else has been done to it??
#5- NO attachments
#6- MACHINE HAS NOT BEEN FULLY TESTED...big red flag here!

I bought a treadle, 1909 Singer....29.21 from Goodwill online, cost me 65.00 to ship it from Michigan, well packed and with the cabinet. Couldn't find anything like it down here in Texas that I could afford. Runs like a dream.....has the beautiful lotus decals on it.

Wow I'd love to see it!! A Treadle would be worth that kind of shipping!! You did great! :thumbup:

And no bobbin case!

I also have family in Texas who travels up here all the time!!!

That Spartan has been listed several times - I have not seen it hit the reserve price yet and it has been bid up over $55. I live here too and have given up on bidding anything here. Reserves are too high.

:-( :thumbdown:

Spartan has a drop in bobbin - no case needed.
I have one and it is a nice little machine. No light - no big deal.

Thanks for the info.! :thumbup:

WOW! You're so sweet. I think that I will keep looking, but I can't believe the generosity you have displayed. Thank you so much!
