Thanks for all the feedback! I guess when I was asking about price, is wasn't directed towards worth or value, or some type of appraisal. I don't really have any intention of selling my finds, unless it's a means to make room for something I want more. With prices all over the board, I guess I was just looking to get opinions on if that seems relatively high, also stating that I know price is relative to the area. I mean, some of you know, regardless of where you live, some prices are laughable.
Like I said, I'm moving in from the computerized world, and I am, I must admit, completely clueless on what seems like a good/fair deal. I guess there's a fine line there... at least to me. Why asking about it ruffles feathers, I don't know, but I'll keep it in mind. At the same time, I understand how a newbie such as myself can seem overly annoying, but leaving a snarky comment is enough to turn people away. Which I'm sure is not what the creators of this site would want. Then again, maybe I just misunderstood the tone of the post. I know that sometimes it's easy to read a post wrong, and other times, people don't see that their post comes across as abrasive.
To clarify, I do search for answers on machines I want, but no matter where I look, one person loves it, another thinks it's ok, or someone outright doesn't care for it. It's confusing, so hearing from a live person, who's willing to share their experiences, and allows me to pick their brain for a little more in depth knowledge just seems invaluable to me, and seems like it's maybe one of the reasons for a site like this. Although, I could be wrong.
I understand that many of you have had to learn via trial and error, have encountered times when you passed up something you wish you would've bought, or even bought something you wished you would've passed on. Sharing those experiences, as least to me, seems like a good idea. I know I'm willing to share my experiences, only because I hope people don't end up making the same mistakes I have.
Regardless, we all are on here for our love of the old machines, and for sewing. I can't promise not to venture into a taboo area again, because I'll likely do it, mistakenly, just as I have here. I apologize for my error, and I once again, thank everyone, even those whom I may disagree with, for their time to post and share their comments.
