one of those Kenmores that resemble a blender. A nice machine to be sure, but $425?

good grief - I have a gold mine - I can't get rid of the things. I'd love to get $15 each...

The knotty pine paneling in the background sure brought back memories. We had that same paneling in our house when I was growing up.

That is a pretty cool looking machine. I've never seen one before.

"Reality Check" needed!

A 1950 Singer 128 for $325? Really?!

More like $50-75 max in this area - and then only if the case is in good condition.

I got one in better shape with all the extras for $25.00. I see they must read our post because he used Godzilla to describe the finish and I have only heard that term here on the QB

Hey Skip,
http://www.ismacs.net/singer_sewing_...ic-decals.html
Most of the way down the page.

That's a name I'd heard before I came here. It does seem that this person did their homework on everything but the price though. Probably got bit by the "I'll look at current listings on ebay" thing again.

They did do their homework and I agree it must be the "ebay" thing again. If I could sell some of my machines for what they are asking on ebay I could get rich:D
