Default Pfaff Treadles

I recently read that certain machines have virtually no value, ie Singer 66, Singer 99 and older treadles. I can't believe a good representative of each catagory is a "boat anchor" as stated. It kinda hurt my feelings and I don't even own one of those machines. I know there are more 66es and thereby the rarity factor is not there.
What about older Pfaff machines? I mean old treadles.
Charlee, don't you have a Pfaff? One of the neighbors is selling one tomorrow at a yard sale. I don't know what to tell her, but it probably won't bring a lot, since treadles take up a lot of space and many probably won't appreciate it for its history. I went away from that website feeling a little depressed (lower than a snake's navel), because I love the old machines and like to save them from the landfill. We are their only hope. Boat anchors, really?
