Just remember, you're always going to have to fight with folks over their machines, if they aren't experienced sewing machine dealers. People always think their vintage machine is worth buckets more than it actually is. It's up to you whether it's work it to argue with them. There's a lady on my CL trying to move a 301 in untested condition without a bobbin case and broken spool pins for $100--just because they want it doesn't mean they'll get it!
