    For those of you looking, there must have been a wave of cleaning out recently and donated to Goodwill. GL!

    I noticed this too. Several were from the Oregon Goodwill.

    Yes I know. I visit the Goodwill website all too often and see a lot of nice sewing machines. I always check the shipping costs to determine whether or not it is a good bargain or not. The sewing machines I have purchased have come to me very well packed. The only problem I have experienced is that often the carrying cases do not ship well and I sure wish Goodwill would have the knowledge to remove the spool pins or cushion them well before shipping. The spool pins have a way of bending or damaging the top cover of the cases during shipping.

    I got a 1950 Kenmore from that site. Also a 1913 Singer model 66 for $43 plus shipping. About $63 total. The singer has been polished completely by me and a man I know who works the sewing clinic at JoAnns tweaked it for me yesterday, oiled it, tweaked the bobbin. Boy! Does she purr. I can't wait to use her. Don't know her name yet...she hasn't told me

    That's sad. If Bares hadn't wasted her money on a 301 that she bought from Lostn51 she could buy one. Instead she never got her machine nor did he refund her money.
