Cue creepy music: Wooooh....wooooooooooh. I'm a Keennmoooooooooorrre! Woooooh....

That is what the sewing machine is trying to tell the guy!! It's a Kenmore being advertised as a Singer. It would be a great machine for anyone with weakness in their arms because it sets itself up in the cabinet and those baby's are HEAVY!

This one is one of the Chinese clones. Note the garish gold?

The decals ARE really nice but the rest of the machine looks pretty old. I would go look at it if I lived nearby!

I couldn't resist when I looked at the listing to click on the "2 sold" . It shows that they paid $8.00 a yard. You would think the seller would have noticed that the price wasn't correct when she put this listing up. The fees for $8,000 is much more than $8.00. I used to sell on Ebay and I always looked at the proposed fees before I activated my listings.

Even if you weren't paying attention the ebay fees, which I suspect is difficult to do,.. the "7" isn't anywhere near the "." on the keyboard, no matter how you look at it. what a crazy mistake!
What does ebay charge on - the asking price or the selling? My guess is selling price, so I suspect it won't matter in the end, because they'd just send an invoice for the $8 and the fees problem is gone? There's a listing fee too though isn't there? Is that based on asking dollar amount?

That's why I'm planning on setting up with Bonanza instead. Fees are lower.
