    Well, they did warn you "sewing machine most expensive in the world". It's certainly the most overpriced one I've seen for a while! The asking price is indeed rare, and you're right: Some of the Etsy...

    eBay have already taken care of that: When you search for "Sewing Machine", it gives you all instances of "Sowing machine" too! It's kind of allowing people to stay stupid though.

    That mis-spelling alone raised my suspicions, but the price doesn't help. Who on Earth would restore a 306?? Bought one yesterday for $23 and it's almost that shiny.

    I'd say just plain lazy. It's a 201, missing its slide plate (as usual).
    Probably well worth $25, but the sign of a truly ignorant owner is that they don't know where the front is.
