    Things that make me go... hmmm????
    I love to peruse the sewing machine listings on Craigslist. Just to see what's out there, what it looks like and how much people are asking for different machines.
    Many times there are listings for sewing machines that include pictures of the cabinet that holds it, but no picture of the MACHINE itself. It makes me wonder if the seller thinks the cabinet is the focal point (perhaps it is) of the offering.
    Darn it, if you are listing a Singer model 28, I want to see what condition it's in - to me the cabinet is just the icing on the cake.

    Just sayin...

    That is when you email or call seller and ask questions. My gripe is when item is sold but not removed from Craiglist.
