Joe, Craig's List is easy....and I've found it to be productive. Watch for the "I'll send you a money order for $3000.00, and you ship the item with my agent, along with the change".

I post with either "1.00 OBO" or "1.00 FIRM'. I post my phone number as "five four 1, nine 7 etc." and I request no text, and I don't allow my email to be used... not even anon.

Photos are important, and tell what you know about the history of the machine.

"This machine was made circa 1967, by the Singer Sewing Machine Company. The machine is a slant shank machine, and I've included the attachments. The machine has been serviced, and stitches nicely." The more you can tell about the machine, the more likely you are to avoid folks that come look, stitch, and you never hear from again. Those that respond to your ad are more likely to be serious shoppers.

And for Pete's sake!! Do NOT say ANYTHING about crappy plastic gears!!
