Count me in that group! Yesterday I walked into Goodwill and right there before my eyes was a beautiful old Singer machine with the old shuttle bobbin casing. The decals looked perfect like the machine was barely used...and....here comes the sad part....a man was looking at the machine. I made a comment about how beautiful it was and he asked me to tell him about the machine...so I did. Then, he said he was only buying it to try to make money off the machine! He asked what I thought it was worth (the price tag was $49.95) and I told him I thought it was worth hours and hours of fun sewing and quilting. I said it was worth the money. The motor was strong and it was in prestine condition! Oh...how I wanted that machine! But, he had first dibs on it so I walked away and when I came back to the front of the store, the man and the Singer were gone!
