http://cosprings.craigslist.org/fuo/3397944501.html last item in the listing. I really really want this treadle but she's smoking crack if she thinks she's going to get 500.00 for it. I sent her an email but she didn't respond. I may send her another one. What would y'all pay? It appears to be a 15 clone. I'm only drawn to it mainly because its German and so am I :)

That is no 15 clone - it is a very nice machine in nice shape. You might try getting her price down some - depends on how bad you want it - it is a German long bobbin sewing machine.

lol! I wonder how the decals have survived fully intact like that given all the rust and dirt and looks like missing black paint on the bed. Seems unusual but thats just me.

I thought that was a little odd, as well. Why would the bed be rusted to a fair-thee-well and the decals look new?They look like Chinese imposter decals to me.

I do want it really bad but I know her price is way too high. I finally heard back from her and she's not budging. Said she needs to pay bills and wont take less...so I guess she doesn't need to pay bills that badly because she's already listed it 5 times and nobody's biting.

Oh well. She has my name and number and when she realizes I'm right maybe she will call me. I still have a few items on my wish list and a German treadle is one of them. Figured maybe I could find a good Gritzner but this is the first accessible one I've come across.
