The funny thing about shopgoodwill is they will spend more there than they will if the same item is on Craig's List - ask me how I know......

Well, it'd be way out of my budget. My mortgage payment is less than that! LOL! Of course, we built the house a long time ago, long before the housing boom that put a lot of folks in bankruptcy!

That's it exactly. Every year about this time people get stupid on the auction sites.

Rodney if you sell all the machines you have you would have to buy new machines...

Just googled Penguin foot. Can easily see why it so called. Truly reminded me of a penguin walking.

Wow! I see this stuff at the thrift store pretty often. Guess I should snatch it up and sell it.

Annette - it's just the penguin foot (walking presser foot) - the rest probably would sell for $25 - for ALL of it. If you want to buy Singer attachments with plans to resell at a profit, you need to know which are the rare ones and which are the ones that sold with every machine.

This is a good "list" though I'd add a few more (guide foot, tube trimmer, machine pinker for a few of them)
