Default 28K Singer on ST. Paul, MN GW auction

This is a 1910 Singer handcrank 28k made in Clydesdale Scotland. I want it so much but it's just not in the cards. Thought you would like to see it before it goes away.

there's also a 127 and a 15 which they didn't even brush off the spider webs before taking photos. Says it ran slow, no wonder as it's filthy. Has anyone else gone to a Goodwill, same location as listed online, looking for a machine and not seeing anything but finding it online?

Our local GW auction pick up location is not a store front. It's a job outreach location. No stock, no receiving, no sales. And auction merchandise can only be picked up during limited hours, twice a week.

I think the 127 is actually a 99.

When I lived in Ft Wayne, IN the online auction pick up site was at one of the stores. There were never any machines on the sales floor of this store but there were several at the other GW stores in town. I was looking at a particular machine on the auction site one time and I emailed them. They let me go to the store and check it out in person before I bid on it. One if the perks of wanting a local machine I guess!
