For those Davis Sewing Machine fans - this is your chance to find something to match.

I asked him if he was high or left out a decimal point...but neither is the case because his appraiser told him that was the average sale price for these. whatever.

Maybe it's for a future insurance claim if it rolls away?

He needs to get his money back from the appraiser since he obviously is out of his league on this type of appraisal.

Other than these machines/prices that we laugh at, has anyone else noticed the "general fair price" of machines is going up?
It seems to me that what I used to be able to pick up for $50 or less is now actually selling for $100 or more?
