Collectors sometimes amaze me, but .....
.....THIS IS INSANITY!

If buying and collecting sewing machines is going in this direction, I'll be out of it pretty soon.
I've already seen prices of normal machines escalating, and considering the finite quantity of these older ones, and the QB's members penchant for hording ..... 'er collecting them, I'm not surprised.
But a batch of Singer stuff for over 7 hundred? INSANITY I say, pure INSANITY!

Joe,
this has the penguin walking foot in the collection....hence the wild bidding. I personally wouldn't pay that much but to each his own. I know they go for high prices. Coming with the original box and manual I'm sure helps too. I'm curious what the green rectangle with two screw holes is. I've seen it before but don't remember. I'm sure someone here will tell us.

Yup - the penguin foot with box and instructions will bring $600-$700 on ebay now. I've bid on things sold at Goodwill figuring I was willing to pay my price plus $200 donation.
I'm now kicking myself for not buying a penguin foot when they were around the $500 mark. So I may never have one if I don't luck into one!
