Couldn't have said it better!! I also have given away machines and they are the ones I've picked up for $5-$10 at garage sales and taken home, given some TLC and a good cleaning and sew fine! I've sold 2 of those..one $5 to a lady running a "tu-tu" business who was sewing by hand and another for $15 to someone who just blew up her plastic machine by patching and home sewing. She called me back a week or so later and told me she loved the machine and couldn't be happier! Most are given away, tho. And I still have a bunch!
