Not for the feint of heart...
I am quickly learning that vintage machine shopping is not for the feint of heart, lol. I've been looking at featherweights (and learning about so many other machines along the way!) and it's kind of nuts. Trying to snag a great deal on Craigslist before its gone (missed) and negotiating with people who waaaay over price (failed) and waiting for replys to ads that never come (rude), scouring eBay and trying to figure out why machines go for what they do (I still don't get it). Oh and making the thrift shop rounds just in case (nothing. Well i did score a great iron!) I can see how this becomes an addiction though...
