Speaking of green machines!
A vintage Consew. Expensive, but pretty in its way! (http://charlotte.craigslist.org/for/3261876511.html)

Overpriced I would say!!
|
Does the Table it sitting on come with it. That is expensive all by its self. But $350.00 is still high.
|
Those are sought after by sewers that do car/boat upholstery, I have heard that's the brand they look for.
|
If you only knew - that is an excellent deal. The price has dropped - used to be $800 was as good as you could get.
|
Personally, I think it's a good deal...industrials are expensive!

Charlotte CL is always a laugh in the sewing machine department. I saw one a couple of weeks ago for $700 and a few days later one for $400, just older singer machines nothing special. I usually look everyday for a laugh and hoping someone here lives in reality. I blame these storage war shows for the prices people think this stuff is worth now.

the table is probably a couple hundred if you need a new one - the motor is $$$ and the head is worth something.... break it down - it is worth it and if it is what you are looking for... - then parts are not cheap for those machines...
I agree - there are some way out there 'finds' on CL - do you know we have an ongoing thread about it? I doubt if the stuff at the start is still there - but feel free to join in the fun: http://www.quiltingboard.com/vintage...g-t174801.html - you might like to start in the back and see how far you go toward the top... stuff gets removed from CL after a while - it's still a lot of fun. |
Hey RagQuilter, are you near the Charlotte area? I am not *in* Charlotte, but it is definitely my 'identifying' city! ;0)
Miriam, I did see that thread, but I never know whether pricing is accurate, or funny! I am never sure where to post my 'finds'!! But, I did finally look at all cL had to offer, so maybe no more for a while!! ;0) Thanks for the interesting opinions! I am always learning things here ~ |
I have had several industrial machines - 10 -15 years ago you couldn't find them and they weren't cheap - CL has made a difference I think. There is a difference between running one of them and a home maker machine. feel free to post on the CL link... we can all get a good laugh
