Singer 127 Sphinx with not very good decals in treadle for $100
2 Singers in the old wood domed lids..have no idea what they were...prices were $125 and $200. Neither were in good shape
2 Jones treadles (one with singer foot irons). Cleaned up nicely already. Each were $95
Singer 127 Sphinx with VERY nice decals. Decent cabinet. Price was $135 but I asked and the owner would take $115.
I'm thinking about the last one. It looked nice. I think it was missing whatever the bobbon sits in. I dont know anything about those different bobbins. I took a couple pics I will post tomorrow.
I also found a Wizard on CL for $50, but its a few miles away.
Machines are just way to expensive around here.....
I would agree - machines are expensive around you. I've had a real bad bout of poison ivy and can barely move so to keep from dying of boredom I've taken a trip on CL - I looked all over the place. There are some real good buys out there if you are in the right place. I saw a couple I would have driven a good ways for. I found one I called about to see if they would send and it was already sold but still up.
Isn't fun looking around CLs. I sometimes check what machines are going for across the nation. There are some very nice deals, most of the time way to far away.
