Default 1950's pink Atlas Sewing Machine on C/L Portland, OR

I really would love a pink Atlas but I think the price they are asking is a little outrageous....Or am I wrong? What do you think?

Wayyyyyy too high. Wait a while to see if they repost with lower prices. Eventually if it doesn't sell they may consider a reasonable offer.

I saw one last month at G'will in a carrying case, $49.99, no extra accessories. Keep looking and you will find one at a reasonable price.

That was my thinking but thought I would ask.

400 LOLOL must be harvest time around portland ..or a boat load of tweak just hit town ..

maybe two months ago I traded a late 40's black 15 clone for a pink atlas, going by the style over the hood (front piece) it's the oldest I've seen yet, I think one nick in the paint job...The ink is not faded out a tall.. dd a ceaning job, tore the motor down ect,, t rans so well, to prove that , I made a king denim quilt on it,, Then gave that machine and the quilt back to the lady I got it from, telling her to never sell it, sae that for your kid ,, OR if you do need to sell ,, do not take less than $85 for it .. she paid $35 from a GW.. Then told her let hubby use the black one, keep his hands off that atlas, both machines are hers LOLOLOL...

Let them keep it. Some people think that because a machine is "older" that it's worth tons of money, and for some machines that may be, but that machine isn't one of them.

you can always make an offer to see what they will do.
