Here is the direct link to the sewing machine search:

We have been buying sewing machines and other goodies from there since last October and I have noticed a steady increase in prices of the sold machines. Especially the Japanese ZZ machines like my Alden and some of the others with built in and cam driven decorative stitches. Those seem to be quite popular now.
Enjoy.

They use eBay as well. I was surprised last week when I came across a goodwill auction. I've stopped looking at goodwill for the most part. Even when you donate to a specific store, they take most of it back to their processing center and redistribute it. The good stuff is pulled for auction there. St. Vinnies and salvation army is better for finding machines around here. Too bad they put crazy high prices on them.
