I have one of those I'll sell for $6. Of course it needs some TLC... AND I doubt if I will get any takers.

This poor thing looks like the machine and the table were both hosed down with black spray paint. . . http://fortwayne.craigslist.org/atq/3996943943.html

Good grief. That is the most somber looking ad ever. That price doesn't help any, either.

And they don't even know what it is, other than "Vintage the Singer manufacturing machine 1950". The word "sewing" is not in the ad, though I think ebay will find it if someone searches "sewing machine" because it's in the right category.

Today I discovered that it's worthwhile to search "sowing machine":
