Singer 15-91 selling for $1300...
I think we've discussed this item previously. Can someone tell us what's going on? Is it a shill type operation?

I can't believe it myself. I have a 15-91 in a cabinet that my dh brought 39 yrs ago for me from a neighbor for $20. I wouldn't part with it, but gee. I just can't believe it! Glad I am not the buyer, even though I love my Singer 15's.
P.s. I think I seen I all now!

Something just isn't right here. It still even has the old aluminum wiring which definitely should be replaced before any serious use. Also although it is clean, for that price it should have been immaculate and yet the metal surfaces still show evidence of "tarry" old oil on most of those surfaces. I don't get it.......and I don't believe it. But shill bidding? I'm pretty naive....won't the seller have to pay the EBay fees....which would be in the $100 range wouldn't it?

I would have been out at $20.
I don't know what sort of funny business is going on with auctions like these, but nobody is legitimately buying a 15-91 for $1525. Some folks say there is money laundering involved, but I wouldn't know anything about that.
