Lots of "0" here... don't know why somebody is thinking an unused sewing machine sitting for more than 50 years would be worth that much...

Since he will only sell as a whole and is FIRM on his price, it may be a while before he finds the perfect buyer for this.

Likely he will move them to the shed or garage... or dump them in the GW bin on a rainy day when he gets tired of looking at them. Maybe he will remarry and his new wife will want them. I doubt if you could buy them, sell off anything any good and still turn a dime. You would have to be wanting a collection then wanting that collection.

Yeah, and they don't even offer you a discount for wasting so much time reading the ad... especially when you get to the very end and it says 'table not included'. Begs the question: why put a picture of the closed up table at the end of the ad??

To the untrained eye, these machines look like they need work - LOL!

Ok, it was a typo mistake (first price was 10 000$!) But still... 100$ is a lot of money for a White.
