Somebody please rescue this baby...
The hand wheel looks crooked to me.
The finish is shot on that red eye, or maybe its just really poor quality pictures.
shipping is outrageous.
Shipping is outrageous, high reserve,missing bobbin case, needs new plug - but they say 'finish appears to be fine and just needs dusting.' If that's true why don't they dust it or clean it a little to make it look nicer for the camera? Sorry - but I've talked to the guy that does the listings and he told me how he came up with his numbers - he just irritates me. You can't find any good machines anymore in the stores around here. And they aren't selling online - they just keep getting re-listed.
How does he come up with his numbers?
I watch....most of the stores around here are getting outrageous, but the private parties (Craig's List and yard sales) are still usually pretty good....they just think they're getting rid of an old machine that no one wants anyway...
He looks around at auction sites and appraisal sites. He doesn't seem to take into consideration what things are actually going for. They had a 99 one time in really bad shape, I had just bought mine for $40 all the other Goodwills were listing low without reserves, CL had lots of good one and yet they still thought theirs should go for over $75. I think if you are going to have a reserve, start it there.
