All of the above. I buy, sell, trade, collect, and work on sewing machines. My Antique Shop friend that I mentioned knows this from being at auctions with me where I usually try to buy any sewing machines, fabric, or notions up for sale. I throw a curve at everyone once in a while, and try to buy up the pots & pans or household linens at Estate Auctions. I’ve found that pots and pans and linens are always in demand by temporary residents in about any community, and they will buy them at my occasional yardsales. Other than that, I search out sewing machines, the older; the better. I’ve got a modest collection of Singer Centennial machines, including a 15-91, 201-2, 31-15, and now a 66-18.
My wife and I have a collection of sewing machines in our home that numbers a little over 40 machines. Plus, I have over 300 parts machines stored at our work place and anywhere else that I can find to store them.
