Yes, several now. I check on a regular basis to see what they've got. I pick them up for my osmg, who refurbs then sells them. I've gotten a Singer 457 (that was the one I was buying), a 237, a couple 15 clones, a Nelco, and at least one more I'm not remembering the details of.
Right now they've got a Walmart Brother and a 7-drawer Sphinx (that's missing a slide plate and the shuttle). And a really cool art deco-ish sewing table that I keep telling myself I don't need. :)
Check yours out! We have two other thrift shops in my little town, and the ReStore is by far the best for sewing machines.

It's a Singer 457, but not actually for me. Our ReStore tests electrical things to make sure they work, and says this motor does. Otherwise, everything else turns easily. It'll go to my osmg, in trade for the work he's doing on my Necchi BU Nova.
