I have bought two machines from Goodwill in Ohio. One machine turned on and did not sew (the stitch length was on 0) it works great. The second just needed to be oiled. It was clean, but was really tight. I oiled it overnight then cleaned the extra oil off, and it works great too. The first one I gave to my daughter and the second one I am using with 4H students that want to learn to quilt. I think I paid $30 for the first including shipping and about $50 for the second with shipping. Great buy in both cases. I have also bought fabrics and quilting books too. Also old sewing baskets. What you buy does go to a good help others and a good cause.
