I know it's a direct rip off of a Singer (the writing, placement of the writing, the basic look of the decals), but it doesn't say Singer on it anywhere. :)

How about this one:

Twice what the price of it is new, and no pesky warranty to worry about.

Perhaps not. I sent a "reply" to their ad:

A friendly note:
Walmart has this machine on sale for $115, down from its regular price of $127. Singer's site says it should be priced at up to $149. That would get someone a warranty as well. You may want to revisit your price.
Or one of the newborn suckers out there grabbed it. :(

It must be the sewing stool that jacked the price up so high. Hasn't the seller ever heard of spell check? Sowing Machine, coversation peice?

Sowing machine will work in spell check ... strangely enough my husband and I own a company that manufactures sowing machines :)
