At least he's going down in price. This guy's been asking for the same "$75, cash in hand" for at least 7 months, probably longer. http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/atq/2795516419.html. You'd think after a while the price would creep down. I don't think he actually wants to get rid of it.

More from the files of "it sounds like a great deal, but there's one problem..." http://dallas.craigslist.org/ndf/atq/2826596722.html.

Yep, big problem. I don't think he posted the correct photos, MAYBE????

Looks to be the right pics, the serial number picture matches the description. I think it's just ignorance and wishful thinking, and hopefully not someone trying to pull a fast one. :)

All I can say is 'buyer beware'

I didn't check the serial number, should have. Isn't that deceptive advertising????

Here's another one - for the mere bargain price of $750!!! Worth way more though, don't you know. His loss is our gain!!! Notice no pictures of what a mere $750 will get you...

http://dallas.craigslist.org/ftw/atq/2829484034.html


or...decided I would cut/paste the ad - since when it goes off Craig's List it can't be read anymore:

---Immaculate Condition...worth a lot more....I Didn't want to sell it, however I am expecting a baby and the extra money will help immensely...Trust me this is my loss and your gain but its for the greater good! Thanks for looking!

This is almost BRAND new believe it or not...they go for $700 to $1000 on ebay used...It comes with original manual oil and sewing kit as well at foot pedal...Again this is in great shape and a perfect gift for a seamstress or antique collector.

Email for more info!---

Looks like a FW from the pics on the ad.

Funny, pictures wouldn't come up when I first looked at the ad. But it does look like a FW, looks very nice and shiny - but Wowzers!!! That's a lot of $$$$.

Yuppers, a lot of money. Nice looking though.

Not CL, but shopgoodwill. Ugh...I just know someone's thinking they are getting a FW. :(
