I decided I didn't want it after all, so we didn't make an offer. I find that GOODWILL is willing to reduce the price of things when they really do not know the value of an object. I have offered less for some machines and offered more for others. I bought one 2 weeks ago and they were asking $40. The bobbin case was missing, the slide on the top was missing and the thread guide on top was hanging. I asked if they would take $20, because it was a brand I had never heard of and I had no idea if I could ever find parts. The manager said, "I can do better than that, how about $19.99." I said, "I'll take it." It is now sitting in my spare garage with 8 others, waiting to be worked on. Who knows if I can bring it back to life?
